🤖 Meta Llama 3.1 405B: The Most Sophisticated Open Source Model

Meta continues its open-source AI strategy and released Llama 3.1 as open-source with 8B, 70B, and 405B parameters! According to Meta, Llama 3.1 can compete with GPT-4o in various tests but is significantly cheaper.

The details:

  • The new models have a context length of 128K tokens and support eight languages.
  • Llama 3.1 405B can compete with the best closed-source models.
  • According to Meta, Llama 3.1 405B is the world’s largest and most capable openly available foundation model.
  • Available via HuggingFace and various cloud providers.

According to Meta, the Llama 3.1 405B model outperforms state-of-the-art models like GPT-4o in several benchmarks.

Our thoughts

The release of Llama 3.1 is a big moment for the open-source AI community. Llama 3.1 405B is the first-ever open-source frontier large language model (LLM). Now, developers worldwide can access a comparable model to the best closed-source models!

Thanks to the open-source approach, the model can be further developed and become an industry standard. And that’s exactly what Meta and Mark Zuckerberg want! In addition, an open-source approach enables more secure development of AI than closed-source approaches.

👩🏽‍💻 Large Enough: Mistral AI releases Mistral Large 2

Mistral AI launched its new flagship LLM “Large 2” just one day after Meta’s Llama 3.1. According to Mistral, Large 2 will set new standards in terms of cost efficiency, speed, and performance.

The details:

  • Large 2 is a model with 123B parameters. It has a context window of 128K tokens.
  • It supports 12 languages and 80 coding languages.
  • Large 2 outperforms Meta’s Llama 3.1 405B in code generation and math.
  • The model is available on major cloud providers, and Le Chat.

Our thoughts

With Meta’s Llama 3.1 and Mistral’s Large 2, there are now two open-source models that are competitive with GPT-4! The pressure on providers such as OpenAI and Google is now increasing!

Why should companies pay for closed-source models when they can run comparable open-source models much more cheaply on their own infrastructure? We think this was a BIG week for open-source AI! Very impressive what Meta and Mistral have delivered!

💭 OpenAI tests AI search engine SearchGPT

This week, OpenAI released a prototype of an AI-powered search engine, called SearchGPT. SearchGPT combines the power of AI models with real-time information from the internet to provide users with an appropriate answer! It is a competitor to Google Search.

A small group currently has access to SearchGPT. In addition, OpenAI plans to integrate SearchGPT into a future version of ChatGPT! If you want to try the new way to search, you can sign up for the waitlist (ChatGPT account is required!).

Our thoughts

In our opinion, AI models in search engines are the future! Let us show you why we think so! AI models are great for finding relevant information in large datasets. This strength can be used in search engines!

In addition, you can ask follow-up questions! It’s like a conversation with a real person! We think this makes the search more intuitive! However, it will be difficult for OpenAI to compete with Google Search, as Google is working on similar functions!

We also have written an article about how language models can improve keyword search! If you’re interested in this topic, check it out.
