Meta’s Open Source Llama 3 Is Already Nipping at OpenAI’s Heels
Meta’s latest open source AI model, Llama 3, is already nipping at OpenAI’s heels. And unlike ChatGPT, it’s free for anyone to download and use.
Jerome Pesenti has a few reasons to celebrate Meta’s decision last week to release Llama 3, a powerful open source large language model that anyone can download, run, and build on. Meta’s previous model, Llama 2, was already influential, but the company says it made the latest version more powerful by feeding it larger amounts of higher-quality training data, with new techniques developed to filter out redundant or garbled content and to select the best mixture of datasets to use. Ali Ghodsi, CEO of Databricks, also describes Llama 3 as “game-changing” and says the larger model “is approaching the quality of GPT 4—that levels the playing field between open and closed-source LLMs.”
