The power of open source on #legal LLM 😎 A team from Equall and CentraleSupélec trained on our Adastra supercomputer at CINES SaulLM-141B and SaulLM-54B: The…

Equall, a Paris-based genAI company, has released its new SaulLM-141B and 54B LLMs, specifically designed for the legal domain. The team claims that they outperform GPT4 and Mistral on a range of legal tasks. These models, which are much larger than those previously developed by the group, also once again raise the question: is it better to use a general LLM, or one specifically made for legal tasks? The new models were co-developed with CentraleSupélec at the Université Paris-Saclay and CINES. As to Equall, they say this about themselves: ‘We build serious products for serious legal work – and are redefining how lawyers and corporations deal with legal risk.’(And if you’d like to see another legally-focused LLM then check out 273’s KL3M.)In terms of the numbers 141 and 54, they refer to the tokens the models were trained on – in billions. They follow an earlier and much smaller experiment. Sources include multiple free libraries
