Meta to make new version of AI model available free of charge.
๐ฅ Mark Zuckerberg's Meta is making a commercial version of its AI model freely available, giving startups and businesses a chance to compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard.
๐ Meta's new Llama 2 model will be distributed by Microsoft through Azure, running on Windows. This move makes Microsoft "our preferred partner" for the release.
๐ฎ LLMs, like ChatGPT, are powered by large language models (LLMs). However, OpenAI has not made its LLM widely available, unlike Meta's Llama 2. ๐ก "Open source drives innovation," says Zuckerberg. The release of Llama 2 will unlock more progress in the AI ecosystem.
๐ง Some argue against open-sourcing AI, fearing that powerful technology may fall into the wrong hands. But meta executives believe public releases actually enhance safety.
๐ช Llama 2, which is trained on 40% more data than its predecessor, threatens the dominance of closed-source models in the generative AI market.
๐ Meta has an "acceptable use" policy for Llama, prohibiting violence, terrorism, child exploitation, and criminal activities.
๐ Microsoft's cloud rivals, Google and Amazon, are also offering AI models to business customers.
