Llama 3
About
Llama 3, developed by Meta AI and released in April 2024, represents a significant advancement in large language models (LLMs). Available in two configurations—8 billion and 70 billion parameters—the models offer both pretrained and instruction-tuned versions, enhancing their adaptability and effectiveness in dialogue scenarios. Llama 3 sets itself apart by being trained on over 15 trillion tokens of publicly available data, a massive expansion over its predecessor, Llama 2, and includes a substantial increase in code data. The models not only excel in performance but also incorporate robust safety features like Llama Guard 2 and Code Shield, underscoring Meta's focus on responsible AI use. Llama 3 models are accessible on platforms such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Hugging Face, with plans for future updates that will expand their capabilities to include multimodal functionalities and multilingual support.
