"Comparing Mark Zuckerberg's Llama 3 with Sam Altman's AI: The Ultimate Showdown"
Llama 3, announced on Thursday, is Meta's most recent attempt to challenge its rivals in the development of cutting-edge AI. Meta claims the next-generation release is the "most capable" openly-available models to date, with improved capabilities in areas such as reasoning and code generation. Despite maintaining the same size as their predecessors, Llama 3 models "establish a new state-of-the-art at those scales."
Meta's open-source models will soon be on par with their closed-source counterparts, with larger, 400-billion parameter Llama 3 models, complete with multimodal features, set to be comparable to proprietary models such as Anthropic's Claude 3 Opus and OpenAI's GPT-4 upon release.
While Llama 3 is a significant step forward for Zuckerberg and the wider open-source community's AI ambitions, it also highlights Sam Altman's year-old GPT-4 model as the standard bearer.
OpenAI's GPT-4, unveiled in March 2023, has been the model to beat for the past year, with competitors such as Google and startups like Anthropic and Mistral attempting to emulate its performance.
Despite Google's Gemini and Anthropic's Claude models demonstrating marginal improvements on OpenAI's model, they have not outright beaten GPT-4. Llama 3's forthcoming models will join a string of competitors that put themselves on the same footing as OpenAI's product.
Zuckerberg, however, seems unbothered by the need to beat GPT-4. His goal with Llama 3 is to bring AI with the capabilities of today's top models to platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.
While Llama 3 represents significant progress for the open-source community, it's clear that Zuck and co are playing a game of catch-up with Altman. The question remains when and how a company competing for AI supremacy will make the next leap in performance.
