Lizzy 7B is a new UK-specific large language model launched today that performs well compared to EuroLLM 9B and Apertus 8B on key metrics. Deployable via Hugging Face or enterprise support, it offers full control, security, and data privacy for UK enterprises and public sector.

Then he asked me if there is more than one AI. I love that question! I said yes. Then he asked me what AIs do I like. I said I like small models that you can run on your own compute. He wanted to know which ones. Thankfully I had just been doing research into open source AI models. I said I like the Olmo AI model which has open data and the Apertus model. He asked me if I had used them, and I said not much yet. I said I have used the Mistral model which I also like but not as much because it's data is not open (as far as I can tell).
That seemed to satisfy him for now, and he turned over to sleep.
I love how kids can ask challenging questions. It forces me to examine why I believe what I do. I am grateful for that.

There are two models you can run locally and privately with #ollama that are what I consider ethical.
Your mileage may vary, but from training data right up, they're clean as far as I can tell.
