> Google recently released Flan-UL2 open source which is an order of magnitude more impressive than anything OpenAI has ever open sourced.
CLIP has been extremely influential and is still an impressive model.
Personally, I have found Whisper to be very impressive.
I didn't even see any news around the release of Flan-UL2, and I pay significantly more attention to machine learning than the average person. Searching for more info about Flan-UL2, it seems somewhat interesting, but I don't know if I find it "an order of magnitude more impressive" than CLIP or Whisper. Certainly, they are completely different types of models, so it is hard to compare them.
If Flan-UL2 is as good as one twitter account was hyping it up to be, then I'm surprised it hasn't been covered to the same extent as Meta's LLaMA. Flan-UL2 seems to have gotten a total of 3 upvotes on HN. But, there is no shortage of hype in the world of ML models, so I take that twitter account's report of Flan-UL2 with a (large) grain of salt. I'll definitely be looking around for more info on it.
