RedPajama: Reproduction of Llama with Friendly License (Stanford, MILA Quebec)

Summary: RedPajama is a project aimed at creating a set of leading, fully open-source language models. The project's first step involves reproducing the LLaMA training dataset, which contains over 1.2 trillion tokens. The most powerful language models today are closed behind commercial APIs, which limits research, customization, and their use with sensitive data. RedPajama aims to create a fully open-source reproduction of LLaMA, which would be available for commercial applications and provide a more transparent pipeline for research. The RedPajama base dataset is a 1.2 trillion token fully-open dataset created by following the recipe described in the LLaMA paper. The full dataset and a smaller, more consumable random sample can be downloaded through Hugging Face.

Sold a Story: How Teaching Kids to Read Went So Wrong

Summary: The podcast "Sold a Story" by American Public Media investigates how teaching methods based on a disproven idea about how children learn to read have made it harder for children to become proficient readers. Host Emily Hanford exposes the influential authors who promote this idea and the company that sells their work. The podcast explores how educators came to believe in something that isn't true and the consequences of their actions, including children being harmed, money being wasted, and an education system being upended. The podcast includes six episodes that cover different aspects of the issue, including the problem, the idea, the battle, the superstar, the company, and the reckoning. The podcast also provides a reading list for those interested in learning more about the science of reading.
