A team of AI researchers has developed Talkie, a 13-billion-parameter language model trained exclusively on English-language texts published before the end of 1930. The creators aim to use Talkie to better understand AI behavior and capabilities by studying its responses and predictive abilities within a historical knowledge constraint. While Talkie can generate some simple code solutions, its programming capabilities are limited compared to models trained on modern data. AI
