Meta is making its artificial intelligence model Lama 2 available for free to companies and researchers

Normal

On Tuesday, Meta made its language model Llama 2 available for free to companies and researchers, according to the “open source” organization (free access to programming code), a strategic decision that brings the giant company specializing in social networks. Back to the racetrack in the field of generative artificial intelligence.
Llama 2 is a certified GPT4 competitor to Chat GBT and Bing, Microsoft’s search engine, especially available on Azure and Microsoft Azure, two major cloud platforms. AWS from Amazon.
“As artificial intelligence models become widely available, everyone benefits from them, and we believe they are safe,” Meta said in a statement.
Fever race
ChatGBT’s success has led to a frenzied competition among tech companies in the field of artificial intelligence that can answer questions in everyday language and generate all kinds of text after it was launched by OpenAI late last year.
The field is dominated by “Microsoft” (the main investor in “Open AI”) and “Google”, but most of the giant technology companies are engaged in competing in the use of the latest generation of artificial intelligence. About its faults and its introspective potential.
Meta explained that helping companies, startups, entrepreneurs and researchers use tools that would be difficult for them to develop on their own and providing them with information skills that they otherwise would not otherwise have access to, opens up a world of opportunities for experimentation and innovation. .
The parent company of “Facebook” and “Instagram” announced this step in the marketing activity for the “Microsoft” group, the main partner of the “Llama 2” meta.
Costs for accessing Microsoft services
Microsoft has positioned itself in the field of open source artificial intelligence, making it less opaque and more transparent than other artificial intelligence systems.
The American group also announced that its new flagship tool based on artificial intelligence for the “Microsoft 365” suite for office work will cost $ 30 per month per user.
Copilot is a virtual assistant that transcribes meeting proceedings, provides summaries, and provides access to email, notepad, contacts, and documents to write texts and perform on-demand tasks.
“We believe more than 50% of Microsoft’s user base will use enterprise AI,” said Dan Ives, analyst at Wedbush.
Ives predicts that the artificial intelligence market in the cloud will contribute to annual cloud computing revenue growth of “20 percent by 2025.”
