Odaily Planet Daily News Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressed support for "open source" artificial intelligence when releasing the company's latest Llama artificial intelligence model, calling it the "way forward" for the industry. Zuckerberg said that with the release of Llama 3.1, the company is "taking the next step to make open source artificial intelligence an industry standard," which he described as the first "frontier-level open source artificial intelligence model." He compared the evolution of open source software Linux from the original closed-source Unix to the potential future of artificial intelligence, suggesting that open source artificial intelligence will become an industry standard. In promoting the company's latest artificial intelligence product, Zuckerberg added that Llama 3 is competitive with the most advanced models and is leading in some areas. The new model can have conversations in multiple languages, write higher-quality computer code, and solve more complex mathematical problems. It also has 405 billion parameters, but it still lags behind competitors such as OpenAI's GPT-4, which reportedly has 1 trillion parameters. (Cointelegraph)
