Meta has open sourced two models in its Llama 3 series of generative AI models, with the remaining models to follow at a later date. The models, Llama 3 8B and Llama 3 70B, are said to be a significant improvement over the previous Llama models, both in terms of performance and number of parameters. Llama 3 8B outranks other open source models on several benchmarks, while Llama 3 70B competes with flagship models. The Llama 3 models boast a larger dataset and claim to provide improved steerability and accuracy. Meta plans to release multilingual and multimodal versions in the future.
