Upon Galactica’s launch, the Meta AI team said it can summarize areas of research, solve math problems and write scientific code. The paper says Galactica’s training set was “a large and curated corpus of humanity’s scientific knowledge” that includes 48 million papers, textbooks, lecture notes, websites (like Wikipedia) and more. Can summarize academic literature, solve math problems, generate Wiki articles, write scientific code, annotate molecules and proteins, and more. ‘Random bullshit gene…
