Sparrow (chatbot)

Sparrow is a chatbot developed by the artificial intelligence research lab DeepMind, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc.

[1] One motivation behind Sparrow is to address the problem of language models producing incorrect, biased or potentially harmful outputs.

[1][2] Sparrow is trained using human judgements, in order to be more “Helpful, Correct and Harmless” compared to baseline pre-trained language models.

Sparrow was introduced in a paper in September 2022, titled "Improving alignment of dialogue agents via targeted human judgements";[4] however, the bot was not released publicly.

It is fine-tuned from DeepMind's Chinchilla AI pre-trained large language model (LLM),[1] which has 70 Billion parameters.
