Databricks Unveils DBRX: A New Benchmark for Open Source Models

Databricks, a leader in Data and AI solutions, has launched DBRX, a groundbreaking large language model (LLM) that sets a new standard in the open-source model landscape. DBRX surpasses established models on industry benchmarks, democratizing the training and customization of high-performing LLMs for enterprises worldwide.

“At Databricks, our vision has always been to democratize data and AI. We’re doing that by delivering data intelligence to every enterprise — helping them understand and use their private data to build their own AI systems. DBRX is the result of that aim,” said Ali Ghodsi, co-founder and CEO at Databricks.

“We’re excited about DBRX for three key reasons: first, it beats open source models on state-of-the-art industry benchmarks. Second, it beats GPT-3.5 on most benchmarks, which should accelerate the trend we’re seeing across our customer base as organizations replace proprietary models with open source models. Finally, DBRX uses a mixture-of-experts architecture, making the model extremely fast in terms of tokens per second, as well as being cost effective to serve. All in all, DBRX is setting a new standard for open source LLMs — it gives enterprises a platform to build customized reasoning capabilities based on their own data.”

Revolutionizing AI with DBRX

DBRX marks a significant leap in democratizing data and AI, aligning with Databricks’ vision to empower enterprises with data intelligence.

Benchmark Performance and Efficiency

DBRX outperforms established open-source LLMs across key benchmarks, including language understanding, programming, and mathematics. Additionally, it exhibits superior performance compared to GPT-3.5, demonstrating its prowess in diverse domains.

“DBRX surpasses open source models across industry benchmarks,” highlighted Ghodsi.

Industry Recognition and Collaboration

Industry leaders and partners have expressed enthusiasm for DBRX’s transformative potential:

“At Accenture, we are at the forefront of implementing generative AI solutions — using advanced techniques to tailor open source models to our client’s unique needs with our foundation model customization services,” said Lan Guan, Chief AI Officer at Accenture. “The availability of more sophisticated open source models can provide new opportunities to drive meaningful results for our clients in every part of the enterprise.”

Availability and Future Prospects

DBRX is freely available on GitHub and Hugging Face for both research and commercial use. Enterprises can leverage DBRX on the Databricks Platform, AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, facilitating seamless integration into existing infrastructures.
