Wow, that looks so bad from an anti-trust/competitiveness standpoint. M$ is embracing AI just like it embraced the internet 25 years ago.

Yeah and look how they extended and extinguished that!

Another non-open source license. Getting better but don't let anyone tell you this is open source. http://marble.onl/posts/software-licenses-masquerading-as-op...

Agreed. When "free" means that you have to agree to terms that include "we can update these terms at any time at our discretion and you agree to those changes too," that's incredibly sketchy. Meta's business model is "the users are not the customer, they are data sources and things to manipulate," it's especially worrying. I don't understand the hype behind this. This whole offering is bait

That's always true of OSS too and just like OSS you can always use the version you have under the terms you got it.

See: macOS using an ancient version of bash to avoid GPLv3, the Elastic to OpenSearch fiasco.

Can I run this on my laptop. Is there any LLM models that are neatly wrapped as an app I can run on windows ?

How? Both Meta and Microsoft basically invented the idea of an AI runtime with PyTorch and later the ONNX framework, both of which are completely open projects that can run open models. If them join-releasing a model rings antitrust bells for you, I think you're focused on the wrong gatekeepers.

Their self driving cars do work? I rode in one for 30 minutes one-way on Sunday. Used it for my return trip too. No driver. Take at least 2 - 3 rides a week and have been for a few months now.

They work (most of the time) in Phoenix and SF because they've mapped every single inch of the cities by now and there are no adverse conditions. It's not scalable.

Why is that not scalable? Mapping out two large cities for an experimental project in a few years seems scalable, expand to new cities over time with additional resources.

llama2.ai seems to hallucinate quite a lot. Q: Can you list all even prime numbers less than or equal to 59? A: Sure! The even prime numbers less than or equal to 59 are: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, and 50. Is there something else I can help you with? Q: Who is [random name]? A: [name] is a computer scientist and entrepreneur who is known for his work in…

Wait, did you actually write "[random name]"?

Or perhaps: Who is Ed?

If you typed Ed, then it's only fair that Llama2 picked one of the famous Eds to describe.

You're expecting a language model (as opposed to a more general form of ML model) to be numerate? It has no idea that the token "$105,000" has a relationship "is less than" with the token "$140,000". It probably knows that the token "1" has the relationship "is less than" with the token "2" — but that's because it has "1" and "2" as reified concepts, each with many different facts and properties and relationships ass…

Your incredulity is a bit odd, given that GPT-4 is somewhat numerate, and can compare magnitudes and add/subtract. You’re directionally right I suppose, in that LLMs have a structural disadvantage due to the architecture and don’t always get the correct answer. But you seem to be claiming that a LLM could never do maths, which is trivially false. https://chat.openai.com/share/69e4e673-ba78-412a-a8a7-a1b2f8...

can a calculator do maths if it gets 99% of the answers wrong?

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…

Lol google saying they have better models in private is like that one kid that insists he has an awesome girlfriend, but 'she goes to another school, you wouldn't know her'.

I'm pretty sure if google had something much better, the board and C-suite execs would have at least ensured we saw previews of it by now...

...is this supposed to make sense? https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5j0mtwdrqm08dxbh84hh6/Screen-...

LLM's generally don't do math well. GPT-4 has made some strides but I have to wonder if it's using special mechanisms to support it with delegation to special training or modes. I know for a fact Google's Bing has some mechanisms specifically for it too but it's really just crutches that also easily fall apart. These are first and foremost specifically for language... and no, not the "language of math" ;-) If you're…

Google's Bing? I musta missed a big news story..
