Especially with ChatGPT developed by OpenAI, a competition to develop a conversational artificial intelligence bot has started between technology companies recently. Microsoft also participated in this together with Bing, and Bing’s mind-blowing answers to people became the agenda.
Now, Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, is joining this trend. Meta announced that it has developed a new artificial intelligence conversation bot called LLaMA. But this will not be a simple bot like ChatGPT or Bing.
LLaMA, unlike others, will be used for more research
Unlike other AI language models like Bing or ChatGPT, LLaMA will be a model where the average user won’t be able to interact with the message. This will be a research tool, as Meta announced. Thus, users will have easy access to this important and rapidly changing area.
By publishing LLaMA under a non-commercial license focused on research use cases, Meta will provide access to universities, NGOs and industry labs to address issues such as the bias of experts, academics and scientists in AI language models.
LLaMA is actually a combination of four different-sized models: LLaMA 65B, LLAMA 33B, LLaMA 13B, and LLaMA 7B. The numbers in the names of the models represent billions of parameters in each model. The second flagship model, the LLAMA-13B, can even run on a single datacenter-class NVIDIA Tesla V100 graphics card, a boon for smaller organizations looking to test on these systems.
