Stanford University team apologises over claims they copied Chinese project for AI model
Artificial intelligence model Llama 3-V drew global attention for its powerful performance when it was launched last week. But after questions were raised, the developers admitted it’s ‘very similar’ to a project developed by Tsinghua and ModelBest.
“We want to sincerely apologise to the original authors,” Stanford computer science undergraduates Aksh Garg and Siddharth Sharma said in a statement posted on X on Monday. Launching Llama 3-V last week, they claimed it could be trained to rival the performance of cutting-edge AI models such as GPT4-V, Gemini Ultra and Claude Opus at a cost of just under US$500. In his WeChat post, Liu from ModelBest acknowledged the “significant” gap between China’s generative AI models and top-tier Western projects such as Sora and GPT-4.
