Meta is set to release its most powerful AI language model yet, Llama 3 400B, by the end of July 2024 and will continue to keep it open source.

First reported by The Information, this highly anticipated launch comes just months after Meta unveiled the Llama 3 family of AI models in April, which already outperformed competitors like Google's Gemma and Anthropic's Claude Sonnet in its initial 8B and 70B parameter sizes.
