“High quality data can . . . improve the state-of-the-art of large language models (LLMs), while dramatically reducing the dataset size and training compute.”
Microsoft: "Textbooks Are All You Need," 10/2/23
The Basics
Calliope Networks is building the leading licensing platform to facilitate the legitimate use of copyrighted content by generative-AI platforms. We aggregate copyrighted works like books, podcast transcripts, research papers, news and movies for ingestion and licensing by AI models.
Copyright Compliant
The artificial intelligence landscape is ingesting content from across the web without permission or payment, violating copyrights and harming creators. At Calliope Networks, copyright compliance comes first. Our data is provided under license and ensures compensation to copyright owners for the use of their works.
Clean and Effective Data Sets
Our datasets are clean and come from copyright owners. Effective LLM training depends on good data. Far too often LLMs have relied on scraped data: "garbage in, garbage out." Calliope Networks content and training sets will enable the most effective LLM training.
For Copyright Owners
If you own copyrighted works and you aren't licensing your content for generative-AI, it is being used without your consent. Calliope Networks creates high quality training sets purpose-built for licensing to AI platforms, setting an important legal precedent, and enabling new revenue streams to copyright owners.
For Gen-AI Companies
If you are training an LLM, you want the highest quality data available. Models trained with high quality data perform dramatically better than models that use scraped, messy data, while requiring substantially less compute and parameters. Calliope Networks' enables optimized performance.
