Llama 3
Meta's most capable and state-of-the-art open-source Large Language Model (LLM) for a wide range of generative AI tasks, including text, code, and sophisticated chat applications.
Llama 3 is Meta's next-generation family of open-source large language models, released in various sizes (8B and 70B parameters) with high performance that challenges closed-source counterparts on key benchmarks. Released with transparent access to model weights and inference code, Llama 3 empowers developers and researchers to build, customize, and run their own AI applications locally or in the cloud. It is optimized for a diverse range of use cases, including conversational AI, content creation, code generation, and complex reasoning, and features an expanded context window for better document-level understanding.
