Facebook parent company Meta’s LLaMA program can outperform larger AI models including OpenAI’s older GPT 3 model, according to the company.
As the chatbot wars heat up, Facebook parent company Meta is introducing its own AI-powered large language model, which it says can outperform rival programs, including the older GPT-3 model from OpenAI.
Meta’s large language model is called LLaMA, and it can generate human-like conversations by essentially autocompleting strings of text, much like other AI-powered chatbots. However, the company says it can run more efficiently than other large language models and requires fewer hardware requirements.
“LLaMA-13B outperforms GPT-3 on most benchmarks, despite being 10x smaller,” the company’s researchers wrote in a paper. (For perspective, GPT-3 originally debuted in 2020 before a newer version was used to power OpenAI’s ChatGPT program.
