3 ways Meta's Llama 3.1 is an advance for Gen AI
Three key design decisions by Meta scientists represent a tour de force in the engineering of increasingly large neural networks.
Meta tested different combinations of the compute intensity and the amount of data to find sweet spots where the mixture reached optimal performance on "downstream" benchmark tasks. Meta PropertiesThe important part is that the iterative process of validating each successive data and compute combination is what leads to the selection of the 405 billion parameters as the sweet spot. Although reasonable parties can disagree on how strictly they recognize the open-source nature of Llama 3.1, the fact that so much detail is offered about the training process of the model is itself a welcome trove of disclosure.
