Meta, Facebook's parent company, continues to do important work in this area and is launching a new AI language called LLaMA today, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post: "Today we're releasing a new state-of-the-art big language AI paradigm called LLaMA is designed to help researchers advance their work."
What is LLAMA
LLaMA is a state-of-the-art large language core model designed to help researchers advance their work in this subfield of artificial intelligence (AI), and smaller, more high-performance models such as LLaMA enable others in the research community who do not have access to large amounts of infrastructure to study These models further democratize access in this important and rapidly changing area.
How is LLaMA different from ChatGPT
LLaMA is not like ChatGPT or Bing, it is not a chatbot that anyone can talk to, ask questions or give commands, instead, it is a research tool that Meta says it is sharing with the hope of "democratizing access in this important and rapidly changing area." In other words, to help experts solve problems with AI language models , from bias and toxicity to their tendency to simply structure information.
What is the purpose of LLaMA
“We believe that the entire AI community—academic researchers, civil society, policymakers, and industry—should work together to develop clear guidelines around responsible AI in general and responsible big language models in particular,” the company wrote in its post.
"We look forward to seeing what the community can learn from - and ultimately build on - using LLaMA." As a basic model, LLaMA is designed to be versatile and can be applied to many different use cases, versus a micro-model designed for a specific task. By sharing LLaMA code, other researchers can more easily test new approaches to reduce or eliminate these problems in language models. The big one,” the company added in a post
Zuckerberg added in the post, "LLM has shown a lot of promise in creating text, having conversations, annotating written material, and more complex tasks like solving math theories or predicting protein structures. Meta is committed to this open model of research and we will make our new model available to the AI research community."
