And lo on the 23rd day of the seventh month of the year of our Zuck, verily did Meta release a new open source AI model, all 405 billion parameter's worth. Known as Llama 3.1, it is apparently the largest such open source model yet and so Meta's main man Mark Zuckerberg has taken to various YouTube channels to promote its technological and social munificence. Oh, and to speculate on a future of AI that's predictably icky, plus complain about his competitors, mainly Apple.
Speaking to Youtube channels Rowan Cheung and Bloomberg Originals, yesterday, El Zuck explained that Llama 3.1 is, "by far the most sophisticated open model that anyone has put out. It's competitive with some of the leading closed models and in some areas is even ahead."
