@iScienceLuvr excitedly shared that a new open-source American LLM has been pretrained from scratch, crediting David Zhang (@DZhang50) for working overtime on the release; OpenAI researcher Anna Goldie also amplified it. The specific model isn't named in the post, so treat as a teaser, but the signal of a fully from-scratch open US model drew notable attention.
