Following the insanity of Blender Bot 3 last year, Meta will be releasing a new LLM called LLaMA. Also, brilliant move to have these announcements roll out through Zuck’s broadcast channel to market two products at once.

AWS and Hugging Face collaboration prevents AI monopolies
By
–
I’ve contemplated a future where a few well-resourced actors own and control powerful AI systems – and I have to say, this doesn't necessarily strike me as a good idea. Collabs like this between AWS and @huggingface are going help prevent AI monopolies.

Hugging Face AWS collaboration makes generative models widely accessible
By
–
Why the @huggingface / @awscloud collab is a bid deal: Hugging Face is on a mission to make the best generative models (which require a lot of data, computing power and basically $$$$$) widely accessible.

Instruction Finetuning Results: LLaMA-I Outperforms Flan-PaLM
By
–
We also briefly tried instruction finetuning using the approach of Chung et al. (2022).
The resulting model, LLaMA-I, outperforms Flan-PaLM-cont (62B) on MMLU and showcases some interesting instruct capabilities.
