🥟 Chao-Down #30 A 10x increase in the cost of search, Meta releases LLaMA, Controlling Stable Diffusion models
Plus, Qualcomm shows off fastest Stable Diffusion inference on mobile devices.
A new challenger approaches.
Meta just announced their LLaMA large language model. Here’s what you need to know.
LLaMA is smaller than GPT-3, but superior at it in some tasks: LLaMA has >10x fewer parameters (13B vs 175B) and fares well against other models like Google’s PaLM across several benchmarks.
The code is open, but not (yet) the weights: Meta wants LLaMA to be open-source and has put the code online on Github but has yet to release the actual model weights.
Researchers can apply to get access: Meta will allow only a select number of researchers and government organizations access to the model.
How will LLaMA actually perform against its competitors? We’ll have to wait and find out.
