Meta S Llama 2 Joins The Ai Race In Collaboration With Microsoft

Meta’s Llama 2 Announced

In an official blog post, Meta introduced the next generation of Llama, Llama 2 to the world in collaboration with Microsoft. Yes, you heard that right! Meta has collaborated with Microsoft to foray into the commercial AI space. Right from the launch, researchers and companies across the globe will be able to gain access to Llama 2. They can train them with their own proprietary data and custom-tailor the AI model to suit their needs. The biggest buzzword with Llama 2 release is open-source. This means that the source code and parameters of Llama 2 are being made publically available (only to researchers and partner businesses for the time being). Meta believes that by making its Large Language Model (LLM) open-source, businesses, startups, entrepreneurs, and researchers can create machine-led scalable advancements and breakthroughs. Also, it will provide an opportunity for developers and researchers to improve the AI model further and fix vulnerabilities as and when they appear, in real-time. At launch, Lllama 2 will use Llama codes ranging from 7B to 70B parameters. Meta claims that Llama 2 has been trained on 40% more data than its predecessor. With the download of each model of Llama 2, users will receive the Model code, the Model Weights, the README (User Guide), the Responsible Use Guide, the License, the Acceptable Use Policy, and Model Card. Additionally, Lllama 2 is optimized to run locally on Windows.
