BLOOM's open access changed who could study and build on a large language model. By making the model freely available, the BigScience collaboration enabled researchers worldwide to conduct experiments and develop applications without the barriers imposed by proprietary models. This access was particularly important for researchers in developing countries and institutions without the resources to develop their own large language models. It also enabled independent evaluation and auditing of the model's capabilities and limitations.
