    “Got caught” is a misleading way to present what happened. According to the article, Meta publicly stated, right below the benchmark comparison, that the version of Llama on LMAren…

    Is that what DOGE is doing? Helping decide the SEC’s policies?

    A vague “stuff is happening behind closed doors” isn’t enough of a reason to build AI weapons. If you shared a specific weapon that could only be countered with AI weapons, that mi…

    I disagree. The file I linked to, model.py, contains the Llama 3 model itself. You can use that model with open data to train it from scratch yourself. Or you can load Meta’s open …
