TECHNICAL DEFINITION

Jurassic is a family of proprietary large language models (LLMs) developed by AI21 Labs, characterized by their extensive parameter counts and advanced natural language processing capabilities for text generation, summarization, and comprehension tasks.

BACKGROUND

Jurassic Park is a 1993 American science fiction adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Michael Crichton and David Koepp, based on Crichton's 1990 novel. Starring Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Richard Attenborough, the film is set on the fictional island of Isla Nublar near Costa Rica, where wealthy businessman John Hammond (Attenborough) and a team of genetic scientists have created a wildlife park of de-extinct dinosaurs. When industrial sabotage leads to a catastrophic shutdown of the park's power facilities and security precautions, a small group of visitors struggle to survive and escape the now perilous island.

DEVELOPERS

Organizations developing technology related to Jurassic.

  • AI21 Labs

    An Israeli AI company that developed the Jurassic-1 family of large language models (LLMs). Their models, like Jurassic-1 Jumbo, were among the largest and most powerful at the time of their release, competing directly with models like GPT-3. They offer access to their models through the AI21 Studio API platform.

  • Amazon Web Services (AWS)

    AWS makes AI21 Labs' Jurassic models available to a broad audience through its Amazon Bedrock service. This managed service allows developers to build and scale generative AI applications using foundation models from various providers, including the Jurassic-2 series, via a unified API.

  • OpenAI

    A leading AI research and deployment company. Their Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) series, particularly GPT-3, was a direct contemporary and primary competitor to AI21 Labs' Jurassic-1, both representing a significant leap in the capabilities of large language models.

  • Cohere

    An AI company focused on building large language models for enterprise use. Their models compete in the same market as the Jurassic series, offering powerful natural language processing capabilities for tasks like generation, summarization, and classification through an API.

  • Anthropic

    An AI safety and research company that develops large-scale AI systems like the Claude family of models. Claude models are competitors to the Jurassic series, representing the same class of powerful, general-purpose foundation models for text-based tasks.

  • Google

    Through its AI divisions like DeepMind and Google AI, Google develops competing families of large language models, such as LaMDA, PaLM, and Gemini. These models are part of the same technological wave as the Jurassic series, pushing the boundaries of natural language understanding and generation.
