The Foundation Model Development Cheatsheet
The Foundation Model Development Cheatsheet is designed as a comprehensive resource for those involved in the development and release of foundation models. It serves as a guide offering best practices and useful recommendations drawn from literature reviews across various phases of model development. The cheatsheet is intended to be a practical and valuable tool for practitioners aiming to enhance their responsible development capabilities.
Overview
This project encompasses a carefully curated collection of resources that are selected based on specific criteria aimed at ensuring their usefulness in development practices. It emphasizes the significance of tools that contribute to the responsible creation and implementation of foundation models.
Contribution to the Cheatsheet
To maintain the cheatsheet’s practical relevance and utility, contributions from the community are welcomed. However, these contributions must meet outlined criteria ensuring they add genuine value to model development. Resources such as data catalogs, evaluation tools, and analytical instruments are particularly encouraged. While academic literature is accepted, the focus remains on tools that streamline or provide insight into development processes.
Criteria for Inclusion
- Helpfulness: Contributions should act as effective development tools.
- Documentation: Resources should come with comprehensive and high-quality documentation.
- Insightfulness: They should offer unique insights that can guide meaningful development decisions.
Contributors have the option of being acknowledged on the cheatsheet’s website and future publications, which fosters a collaborative and rewarding development community.
How to Add Resources
There are two main methods to contribute resources:
- Upload Form: Use the provided upload form for individual contributions.
