Meta on Tuesday announced the release of Llama 3.1, the latest version of its large language model that the company claims now rivals competitors from OpenAI and Anthropic. The new model comes just three months after Meta launched Llama 3 by integrating it into Meta AI, a chatbot that now lives in Facebook, Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp and also powers the company's smart glasses. In the interim, OpenAI and Anthropic already released new versions of their own AI models, a sign that Silicon Valley’s AI arms race isn’t slowing down any time soon.

Meta said that the new model, called Llama 3.1 405B, is the first openly available model that can compete against rivals in general knowledge, math skills and translating across multiple languages. The model was trained on more than 16,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs, currently the fastest available chips that cost roughly $25,000 each, and can beat rivals on over 150 benchmarks, Meta claimed.

Willing to bet Zuck enjoys Jarvis. Bet there is also a ridiculous back and forth over this with Musk and Altmann.

Any of the 3 could solve American homelessness over night, but build Hawaiian preper bunker islands instead.

At least Zuck is only trying to lead and not monopolize.

I think he would, if he thought he could

If you can’t monopolize, the next best thing is to make sure nobody else can.

That's what bacm in my day was called Competition!!!

Our oligarchs figured that collusion and cartels work better for them tho.

It ain't grand how they can unionize while avg American worker hates his labour?
