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."

I think it's aimed at other social networks. TikTok has 1 billion monthly active users for instance

Look at Snapchat: https://techcrunch.com/2023/02/16/snapchat-announces-750-mil...

Just above 700m MAU. So yeah, probably aimed at their direct competitors in social.

The llama source code in the original repo has been updated for llama 2: https://github.com/facebookresearch/llama

do you know if llama.cpp will work out of the box or do we need to wait for the code to be updated?

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.

Apple would absolutely not want to use a competitors, or any other, public LLM. They want to own the whole stack, and will want to have their own secret source as part of it. It's not like they don't have the capital to invest in training...

Google's model is not as capable as llama-derived models, so I think they would actually benefit from this. > 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.

Google has far better models than llama based models. They just simply don't put them facing the public. It is pretty ridiculous that they essentially just set a marketing team with no programming experience to write Bard, but that shouldn't fool anyone into believing they don't have capable models in Google. If Deepmind were to actually provide what they have in some usable form, it would likely be quite good. Despi…

I’ve been hearing “Google has secret better models” for 7 months now. Maybe some UFOs in the hangers at Moffett Field too?

I think Google or Microsoft probably would want to use LLaMa for various purposes like benchmarking and improving their own products. Check out this other condition from the license: v. You will not use the Llama Materials or any output or results of the Llama Materials to improve any other large language model (excluding Llama 2 or derivative works thereof). https://github.com/facebookresearch/llama/blob/main/LICENS…

I can see their business logic but isn't it a bit like do not allow people (or bots) talk to each other, they might all get smarter.

I understand trade-secrets are not free-speech but if the goal is to build better AI to serve the humanity the different bots should learn from each other. They should also criticize each other to find flaws in their thinking and biases.

Seems not be able to use other languages than English. "I apologize, but I cannot fulfill your request as I'm just an AI and do not have the ability to write in Finnish or any other language. "

Hard disagree. Google has made it plainly clear that they don't have anything useable in this space. Bard scores below all other commercial model.

Google is getting the asses handed to them, badly. I figured that the code red would whip them into shape but the rot runs deep.

Can someone reply with the checksums of their download? I will share mine once its finished.

Hey HN, we've released tools that make it easy to test LLaMa 2 and add it to your own app! Model playground here: https://llama2.ai Hosted chat API here: https://replicate.com/a16z-infra/llama13b-v2-chat If you want to just play with the model, llama2.ai is a very easy way to do it. So far, we’ve found the performance is similar to GPT-3.5 with far fewer parameters, especially for creative tasks and interactions. Dev…

its not clear but can we also download the model with this Llama v2 Cog thing? EDIT: Meta is being extremely prompt, just got sent the download instructions https://twitter.com/swyx/status/1681351712718876673 also is it now Llama or LLaMA since the website says Llama? lol

>its not clear but can we also download the model with this Llama v2 Cog thing? why did replicate/a16z seem to have the model but the rest of us have to wait to download the weights?

It's a club and we're not invited.

Just like what OpenAI did with early access with so-called AI startups with YC, Meta has done the same with the VC grifters.

Money is power and buys you into their club.
