    From the blog post:

    Facebook AI has built and open-sourced BlenderBot, the largest-ever open-domain chatbot. It outperforms others in terms of engagement and also feels more human, according to human evaluators.

    [...]

    Today we’re releasing the complete model, code, and evaluation set-up, so that other AI researchers will be able to reproduce this work and continue to advance conversational AI research.

    [...]

    We used previously available public domain conversations that involved 1.5 billion training examples of extracted conversations.

        You'd think Facebook would have a few GPUs to spare to leave a running instance somewhere... More seriously, I think they probably want to tune it some more / gather feedback to avoid a disaster...

        More seriously, I think they probably want to tune it some more / gather feedback to avoid a disaster like Microsoft Tay.
