Meta’s AI push, driven by its Llama large language model, takes a page out of the open source playbook
Meta views Llama and its family of generative AI software as akin to Linux, the open source operating system that rivals Microsoft's Windows.
But at this year's event, VR developers were inundated with panel discussions about a topic that's quickly becoming less about tomorrow and more about the present: artificial intelligence. After the July announcement, Yann LeCun, the AI researcher Zuckerberg hired in 2013 to lead Facebook's new AI research group, wrote on Twitter that,"This is going to change the landscape of the LLM market."
Spisak helped oversee PyTorch and other open source AI projects when he worked at Meta from 2018 until January 2023. He left the company for a brief stint at Google and returned to Meta in July. Meta debuted the original Llama LLM in February, offering it in several different variants ranging from 7 billion parameters to 65 billion parameters, which are essentially variables that influence the size of the model and how much data it processes. In general, more parameters means a more powerful model, with the tradeoff being the cost of running and training the AI software.
Although a number of open source LLMs are available, Lambert said Llama 2 is by far the most popular. "We believe in open innovation, and we do not want to place undue restrictions on how others can use our model," a Meta spokesperson said in a statement."However, we do want people to use it responsibly. This is a bespoke commercial license that balances open access to the models with responsibility and protections in place to help address potential misuse.
The GAO is currently using AWS' Bedrock generative AI service to help the agency experiment with various popular LLMs, including proprietary models offered by startups like Cohere and Anthropic.Bedrock will soon support Llama 2, Ariga said the GAO is first testing Anthropic's Claude LLM and will likely pass on using Llama 2 because of Meta's poor reputation in Washington.
Nur Hamdan, a product manager at AI startup aiXplain, said OpenAI's GPT-4 is better than Llama 2 at understanding context over long, extended conversations. That means GPT-4 would likely produce conversations in a way that feel more lifelike, Hamadan said., researchers discovered that GPT-4 was able to generate better software code than Llama 2. Meta has since released a version of Llama 2 specifically for creating code.
