Meta jumps into the AI game – Software

Researchers may submit an application to access Meta’s large language model, LLaMA. Tools like Open AI’s ChatGPT, which can generate essays & provide answers quickly, are powered by large language models.

Large language models “have showed a lot of potential in generating text, holding conversations, summarising written materials, and more sophisticated jobs like solving arithmetic theorems or predicting protein structures,” stated Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a Facebook post.

In its announcement, Meta said this:

We introduce LLaMA, a collection of foundation language models ranging from 7B to 65B parameters. We train our models on trillions of tokens, and show that it is possible to train state-of-the-art models using publicly available datasets exclusively, without resorting to proprietary and inaccessible datasets. In particular, LLaMA-13B outperforms GPT-3 (175B) on most benchmarks, and LLaMA-65B is competitive with the best models, Chinchilla70B and PaLM-540B. We release all our models to the research community.

A few days ago, Microsoft revealed its AI-powered Bing search engine in February, & Google unveiled Bard, an AI chatbot.
