Meta joins hands with Microsoft for its latest AI model Llama 2; likely to beat ChatGPT and Bard
AI software. Established players like OpenAI, supported by Microsoft and already offering their models to business customers through Azure, could face disruption. The initial version of Llama was already on par with models powering OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard chatbot.
Moreover, the new version of Llama has undergone training on 40% more data than its predecessor, incorporating over 1 million human annotations to enhance the quality of its outputs, as stated by Zuckerberg. "Commercial Llama could change the picture," said Amjad Masad, chief executive at software developer platform Replit. "Any incremental improvement in open-source models is eating into the market share of closed-source models because you can run them cheaply and have less dependency," said Masad.
In response to the moves made by its major cloud competitors, Microsoft has announced its plans to provide business customers with a variety of AI models to choose from. For example, Amazon is offering access to Claude, an AI developed by the well-known startup Anthropic, in addition to its lineup of Titan models. Similarly, Google has expressed its intention to make Claude and other models accessible to its cloud customers.
