A new large language model called Talkie, also known as 13B 1930 LM, has been developed with a training data cutoff of 1930. This approach, termed a 'vintage LLM,' aims to emulate historical perspectives by using only pre-1930 data, thereby sidestepping copyright issues for material from that era. The project explores the concept of 'time travel' through AI and investigates how well such models can predict or understand events post-cutoff, drawing inspiration from researchers like Owain Evans and concepts from Calcifer Computing.
