Why doesn't FB create an API around their model and launch OpenAPI competitor? It is not like they don't have resources, and the learnings (I am referring to actual learning from users' prompts) will improve their models over time.

> greater than 700 million monthly active users Hmm. Sounds like specifically a FAANG ban. I personally don't mind. But would this be considered anti-competitive and illegal? Not that Google/MS/etc. don't already have their own LLMs.
Most likely they want cloud cloud providers (Google, AWS, and MS) to pay for selling this as a service.

That's an oddly high number for blocking competition. OpenAI's ChatGPT hit 100 million MAUs in January, and has gone down since. It's essentially a "Amazon and Google don't use this k thx."
TikTok has 1 billion monthly active users for instance

I think this is effectively an Apple + Amazon + Google ban?
(MS employee, just noticing interesting intersection of announcements and licensing).
They don't benchmark against the OpenAI models at all for some reason. In my experience so far even GPT-3.5 was so much better than any OSS models I tried. Meta must be missing having a cloud business at this point. AI would have fit perfectly with that. Since they ran Whatsapp for so many years kinda without interfering too much, they could have also tried a somewhat independent cloud unit.
Looks like it comes in just under GPT-3.5 (based on page 7 in the GPT-4 report https://cdn.openai.com/papers/gpt-4.pdf )
It is for the old version and not this new one

I think more Apple. It's not like Google or Microsoft would want to use LLaMA when they have fully capable models themselves. I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon does as well. Apple is the big laggard in terms of big tech and complex neural network models.
> I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon does as well.
I would - they are not a very major player in this space.
TikTok also meets this definition and probably doesn't have LLM.

Edit: Ah wait, it seems like there is a 34B model as per the paper: "We are releasing variants of Llama 2 with 7B, 13B, and 70B parameters. We have also trained 34B variants, which we report on in this paper but are not releasing due to a lack of time to sufficiently red team."

poor reading of the numbers. one guy at a bank pulled up similarweb and guesstimated 100m registered users and it went viral. whisper numbers were closer to 50m. but in the 6 months since they have certainly crossed 100m and probably are north of 500m, and only recently dipped.
