How To Use Llama 2 Meta S Latest Ai Model

What is the Llama 2 AI Model from Meta?

Meta’s Llama 2 is the newest successor and addition to the company’s set of language models, rivaling ChatGPT and its alternatives. The Llama 2 model has been trained on 40% more data than its previous version and also has double the context length. Furthermore, the LLM has been divided into different model weights that range from 7B to 70B parameters.
Since Llama 2 is open source, Meta has benchmarked it against other similar models. As such, this LLM outperforms a lot of competitors in various external benchmarks, including reasoning and coding tests and much more. It naturally stands as a competition to other popular LLMs like GPT-4 and PaLM 2. Keep reading to learn how you can access Meta’s LLM for yourself right now.
