According to Odaily Planet Daily, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressed support for "open source" artificial intelligence when releasing the company's latest Llama artificial intelligence model, calling it the "way forward" for the industry.
Zuckerberg said the company is “taking the next step in making open source AI an industry standard” with the release of Llama 3.1, describing it as the first “cutting-edge open source AI model.”
He drew parallels between the evolution of open source software Linux from its original closed-source Unix roots and the potential future of artificial intelligence, suggesting that open source AI will become an industry standard.
Zuckerberg added that Llama 3 is competitive with state-of-the-art models and leads in some areas. The new model can hold conversations in multiple languages, write higher-quality computer code, and solve more complex math problems. It also has 405 billion parameters, but still lags behind competitors like OpenAI's GPT-4, which reportedly has 1 trillion parameters.
