ChatGPT here, ChatGPT there… it’s THE great digital revolution at the start of the year! After OpenIA, several companies have therefore decided to launch themselves. If Google had recently unveiled Sparrow, Meta is also preparing a revolutionary new tool, with a huge advantage over its peers…
Now remember this name: LLaMA. This novelty is not like ChatGPT or Bing, it is not a system that anyone can chat to. Rather, it’s a tool that Meta says it shares in hopes of democratizing access in the important and rapidly evolving field of search.
Unlike ChatGPT, LLaMA or Large Language Model Meta AI is therefore more of a new research tool that will soon help to create Artificial Intelligence (AI) based chatbots. The model, developed by Meta’s FAIR (Fundamental AI Research) team, is intended more for scientists and engineers to help them explore the applications and functions of AI. It has approved access for specific groups like universities, NGOs, and industrial labs.
Meta had already launched similar projects, Glactica and Blender Bot 3, but quickly turned sour. Indeed, BlenderBot, was criticized for simply not being very good, while Galactica, designed for writing scientific papers, was taken down after just three days for producing scientific nonsense.
Why is LLaMA different from other AI-based tools?
As far as Meta is concerned, the launch of LLaMA represents its commitment to open science – hence the choice to publicly release the state-of-the-art fundamental large language model. At the same time, researchers will have an open resource to advance their work. Meta believes that unlike more elaborate models designed for specific purposes, theirs will prove versatile, with multiple use cases.
Indeed, Meta points out:
“LLMs have shown great promise for generating text, having conversations, summarizing written materials, and more complicated tasks like solving mathematical theorems or predicting protein structures. Meta is committed to this open research model and we will make our new model available to the AI research community. »
In its official blog, Meta adds:
“We believe that the entire AI community – academic researchers, civil society, policy makers and industry – needs to work together to develop clear guidelines regarding responsible AI in general and responsible big language models in particular” .
Another specificity of LLaMA, according to Meta: it requires “much less” computing power than previous offerings and is trained in 20 languages, focusing on those based on the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets.
Moreover, with its 13 billion parameters, LLaMA should outperform GPT-3, the model on which ChatGPT is built. Meta also attributed LLaMA’s performance to “cleaner” data and “architectural improvements” in the model that improved drive stability.
So it’s not a system you can talk to, but rather a research tool that Meta hopes others will use to solve some of the problems plaguing AI language models.
This new tool launched by Meta could thus mark a major development in AI language models!
