• Meta Platforms has released a free-of-charge version of its AI model, Llama 2, to compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard.
• The Llama 2 model is open-source, making it accessible to everyone to modify or tinker with.
• CEO of Meta Mark Zuckerberg emphasized the importance of open source software for innovation and safety.

Meta Releases Free AI Model

Meta Platforms has released a free-of-charge version of its artificial intelligence model, Llama 2, to compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard chatbots. The company behind Facebook and Threads unveiled the new AI entrant on Tuesday.

Llama 2 Model Is Open Source

Unlike the attention-grabbing AIs created by OpenAI and Google, Llama is open source, allowing anyone to access its inner workings and modify or tinker with them. On the other hand, most generative AI tools are closed and proprietary.

Open Source Drives Innovation

CEO of Meta Mark Zuckerberg wrote on Facebook that “open source drives innovation because it enables many more developers to build with new technology.“ Moreover, he stated that because more people can examine this type of software to find potential problems, „it also improves safety and security“.

AltSignals Presale

AltSignals is currently conducting the presale of ASI token –the cryptocurrency that will power ActualizeAI– in three stages (BETA stage + Stage 1 + Stage 2). The ASI token price increases with each stage and it is currently costing $0.01875 per token.

Conclusion

Meta’s open source AI entrant could set the pace for upcoming AI tools including AltSignals‘ blockchain -powered ActualizeAI ecosystem as the artificial intelligence race gathers momentum.
