Meta’s New Llama 3.1 is free, powerful, and risky
Internet company Meta has announced the release of Llama 3.1, the largest-ever open-source artificial intelligence model. It claims that the model’s performance outperforms the GPT-4o and Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet on several benchmarks. It added a feature that could generate images based on someone’s specific likeness, one of the ways it’s making the llama-based Meta AI assistant available in more countries and languages.
Code Llama is Meta’s own artificial intelligence code-writing tool
Meta has released a tool called Code Llama, built on top of its Llama 2 language model, to generate new code and human-written work. It was powered by GPT-4 and can be updated by Meta’s Copilot, which is used to write and check code. “It’s exciting that they’re releasing the weights to the community,” Stanford postdoctoral researcher Deepak Kumar said.
