Language models have become a key factor when it comes to creating the most thorough and accurate artificial intelligence possible. The new model developed by Microsoft and Nvidia is said to feature about 530 billion parameters and to be capable of exceptional accuracy, especially in reading comprehension and complex sentence formation.

Nvidia and Microsoft's Megatron-Turing Natural Language Generation model (MT-NLG) marks a new record for a language model. According to the tech firms, their model is the most powerful to date. Thanks to its 530 billion parameters, it is able to outperform OpenAI's GPT-3 as well as Google's BRET. Specialized in natural language, it is able to understand texts, reason and make deductions to form a complete and precise sentence.
