Meta has released Llama 2, the next generation of its open-source large language model (LLM), as an alternative to ChatGPT and Bard. Llama 2 is available for research and commercial use, with twice the context length and 40% more data than Llama 1. It outperforms previous LLMs on external standards.
Llama 2, the next generation of the company’s open source large language model (LLM). has been released by Meta.
Llama 2, a possible alternative to ChatGPT (OpenAI) and Bard (Google), has also been made accessible by the Mark Zuckerberg-led firm for research and commercial use. The service is free to use.
Llama 2: Here’s what it is:
Llama 2 is a ‘series of state-of-the-art open-access language models’ published by the tech giant, said Hugging Face, one of Meta’s international collaborators and supporters on the project.
Features of Llama 2
According to Meta, Llama 2 has twice the context length and got training on 40% more data than Llama 1. There are three sizes offered for the model: 7B, 13B, and 70B. Facebook’s parent company asserts that the new LLM “outperforms” previous open source LLMs on a variety of external standards, such as knowledge, skill, and assessments in coding and reasoning. The Llama-2-chat, a “fine-tuned” model, uses publicly available instruction datasets and more than 1 million human annotations. It was pre-trained using publicly accessible web data sources.
Global collaborators and backers of Llama 2
Along with Hugging Face, the project’s ‘wide variety of backers’ come from all across the world and include organizations like Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), IBM, Accenture, Shopify, Jio, Qualcomm, Nvidia, Zoom, T-Mobile, LG, Spotify, and more.
Availability
It is instantly usable through the appropriate sources. It may be found in the Azure AI model library and has been optimized for Windows local installation.
