Correct Answer : Option (D) - Meta

On Friday (24th Feb 2023), Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg announced Meta Platforms' impending release to researchers of a new large language model called LLaMA (Large Language Model Meta AI).

* The model, developed by Meta's Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) team, is intended to aid scientists and engineers in exploring AI applications and functions such as answering questions and summarizing documents.

* Meta has said that it will offer LLaMA in sizes such as 7B, 13B, 33B, and 65B parameters.

* In its research paper, Meta noted that LLaMA-13B outperformed OpenAI’s GPT-3 (175B) on most benchmarks and LLaMA-65B is competitive with the best models, DeepMind’s Chinchilla70B and Google’s PaLM-540B.

* Once fully trained, LLaMA-13B can be a boon for small businesses that are looking forward to running tests on these systems, however, it may still be far from researchers working isolation.

* LLaMA comes as tech companies race to promote advances in AI techniques and integrate technology into their commercial products. As CNBC notes, Meta's release is distinguished from competitors' models as it will be available in a selection of sizes, from 7 billion parameters up to 65 billion parameters.

* Another way LLaMA is different, according to Meta : It requires "far less" computing power than previous offerings and is trained in 20 languages, focusing on those based on the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets.

* With its 13 billion parameters, LLaMA should outperform GPT-3, the model upon which ChatGPT is built. Meta also attributed LLaMA's performance to "cleaner" data and "architectural improvements" in the model that improved training stability.

* Meta's launch of LLaMA may mark a major development in AI language models. The social media giant's commitment to open science and allowing researchers to study under a non-commercial license will limit the model's misuse.

* LLaMA's versatility and problem-solving potential may provide a glimpse of AI's substantial potential benefits to billions of people at scale..
