The tool, which was created in just a few weeks, has exceeded the team's expectations for its ability to find helpful answers. It can refer to specific figures within papers for possible answers to questions, even though it currently does not process images. The team is now working to add more datasets to the model and hopes to make the tool available to all NASA-badged users.
Key takeaways:
- NASA-GPT is a non-cloud, internally hosted chatbot and AI-enhanced search tool with access to several of the agency’s report servers and data repositories, capable of answering specific questions about NASA programs.
- The tool can also answer technical and procedural questions about how to use the computational resources provided by the NASA Advanced Supercomputing Division.
- Running large language models (LLM) is not easy; the full NASA-GPT model needs at least four of the Cabeus supercomputer’s NVIDIA A100 GPUs to run, though multiple users can use it simultaneously.
- The development team are currently working to add more datasets to the model, and they are hoping to make the tool available to all NASA-badged users.
