Zuckerberg explained on Instagram today that Meta will embed the new Meta AI assistant, powered by Llama 3, into products such as Whatsapp, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, and more.
In a blog post announcing Llama 3, Meta said it focused on improving the training data used to develop models. According to the company, it provides seven times more data than the previous generation Llama 2. Some of his AI experts pointed out that the numbers released by Meta also show that the creation of Llama 3 is significant. required a huge amount of energy Provide power to the required servers.
The increasing capabilities of open-source AI models have led some experts to believe they could facilitate the development of cyber, chemical, and biological weapons, or even be hostile to humans. I am concerned that it may become. Meta has released tools to help ensure that Llama does not output potentially harmful utterances.
Others in the AI space say Meta's Llama model is not as open as it could be. The open source license for the company's models places some restrictions on what researchers and developers can build.
“It's great to see more models openly disclosing their weights,” Luca Soldaini, senior applied research scientist at the nonprofit Allen AI Institute, said in a statement after the release of Llama 3. mentioned in. “But the open community needs access to all the other parts of the AI pipeline: the data, training, logs, code, and evaluation. It will promote
Stella Biderman, an AI researcher working on EleutherAI, a non-profit open source AI project, said Meta's Llama 2 license limited the experiments that AI researchers could run with Llama 2, and the Llama 3 license He added that the restrictions appear to be even more restrictive. “The meta frees up weight, but it is notoriously limited in what you can do with it,” Biderman says.
Part of the model's license states that companies with “more than 700 million monthly active users” must obtain a special license from Meta, which clearly states that The clause is designed to prevent the project from supporting the company's closest rivals.
Still, Llama 3 seems likely to spark a new explosion of AI experimentation. Clement Delange, CEO of HuggingFace, a repository of open AI models including Llama 3, says developers have created over 30,000 variants of his Llama 2. ” he says. “Great community movement by Meta.”
