## What Jamie wrote

Open-source options for building out LLM features.

> We are open-sourcing the entirety of Dolly 2.0, including the training code, the dataset, and the model weights, all suitable for commercial use. This means that any organization can create, own, and customize powerful LLMs that can talk to people, without paying for API access or sharing data with third parties.

This has a new training set that is open for others to use.
