Meta has released Llama 3.1 405B, which they believe is the world's largest and most capable openly available foundation model.
Hmm..What’s the background?
Meta is committed to openly accessible AI because they believe open source will ensure more people benefit from AI, prevent the concentration of power in the hands of a few, and allow for more even and safe deployment across society.
To allow for a more competitive AI landscape Meta has released Llama3.1 to rival the top AI models when it comes to state-of-the-art capabilities in general knowledge, steer-ability, math, tool use, and multilingual translation.
Ok, So what is proposed in the research paper?
The paper has the following key proposals:
Llama 3.1 405B signifies a shift towards open-source leadership in AI. This model surpasses previous open-source models in capabilities, potentially establishing a new standard in the field.
Llama's design prioritizes scalability and developer customization. Meta emphasizes the architectural choices that enable efficient training and deployment, even for the large 405B model.
Llama's ecosystem facilitates comprehensive AI development. Beyond the model itself, Meta highlights the supporting tools, partnerships, and initiatives like "Llama Stack" that aim to streamline AI development processes, from fine-tuning to deployment.
What’s next?
The researchers suggest ongoing exploration of "more device-friendly sizes, additional modalities, and more investment at the agent platform layer". Meta actively encourages developers to leverage Llama's open weights, customize the models for specific applications, and contribute to its advancement.
Future research directions for Llama will focus on expanding model capabilities, fostering open-source innovation, refining the supporting ecosystem, and prioritizing responsible AI development.
So essentially,
Llama3.1 is most capable herd of Large Language Model yet!
