Meta to make new version of AI model available free of charge.

🔥 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.

🌟 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.

😮 LLMs, like ChatGPT, are powered by large language models (LLMs). However, OpenAI has not made its LLM widely available, unlike Meta's Llama 2. 💡 "Open source drives innovation," says Zuckerberg. The release of Llama 2 will unlock more progress in the AI ecosystem.

😧 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.

💪 Llama 2, which is trained on 40% more data than its predecessor, threatens the dominance of closed-source models in the generative AI market.

🔒 Meta has an "acceptable use" policy for Llama, prohibiting violence, terrorism, child exploitation, and criminal activities.

🌍 Microsoft's cloud rivals, Google and Amazon, are also offering AI models to business customers.
