Natural Language Processing, one of the primary subfields of Artificial Intelligence, is advancing at an extraordinary pace. With its ability to enable a computer to understand human language the way it is spoken and written, NLP has a number of use cases. One such development is the introduction of Large Language Models, which are the trained deep learning models based on Natural Language Processing, Natural Language Understanding, and Natural Language Generation. These models imitate humans by answering questions, generating precise textual content, completing codes, summarizing long paragraphs of texts, translating languages, and so on. 

Recently, CarperAI, a leading AI research organization, has introduced OpenELM, an open-source library that promises to transform the field of evolutionary search. OpenELM, in which ELM stands for Evolution through Large Models, combines the power of large language models with evolutionary algorithms to enable the generation of diverse and high-quality text and code. OpenELM version 0.9 has been proposed with the aim of providing developers and researchers with an exceptional tool for solving complex problems across various domains. Along with OpenELM, the team has also released its paper at GPTP 2023.

Evolution Through Large Models (ELM) demonstrates how LLMs can iteratively enhance, critique, and improve their output. This skill can be used to improve language models’ capacity for problem-solving and demonstrates their potential as intelligent search operators for both language and code. The core idea behind ELM is that LLMs can act as intelligent operators of variation in evolutionary algorithms. OpenELM takes advantage of this potential to improve language models’ problem-solving skills, enabling the creation of varied and high-quality content in areas that the model might not have seen during training. The team has introduced OpenELM with four major goals, which are as follows.

Open source – OpenELM gives an open-source release of ELM and the differential models that go along with it, which makes it possible for developers to freely use the library and contribute.

Model Integration: OpenELM is built to work easily with both closed models, which can only be used with commercial APIs like the OpenAI API, and open-source language models, which can be used locally or on platforms like Colab.

User-Friendly Interface and Sample Environments: OpenELM aims to provide a straightforward user interface along with a variety of evolutionary search sample environments.

Evolutionary Potential – OpenELM intends to demonstrate the evolutionary potential of language models in combination with evolution, and it shows how intelligent variation operators can help evolutionary algorithms, especially in fields like plain-text code creation and creative writing, by utilizing the possibilities of huge language models.

With a focus on quality-diversity (QD) methods like MAP-Elites, CVT-MAP-Elites, and Deep Grid MAP-Elites, OpenELM, being a feature-rich library, smoothly interacts with well-known evolutionary techniques. It makes it possible to create high-quality and diversified solutions by encouraging diversity and preserving the best individuals within each specialty. In conclusion, OpenELM marks a significant milestone in the field of evolutionary search by utilizing the potential of large language models to generate diverse and high-quality text and code.
