Anthropic's Llama 2 offers flexible commercial licensing and fine-tuning capabilities for businesses to leverage in their applications.
Anthropic's Claude 2 and OpenAI's Code Interpreter provide different approaches to handling language models, allowing for expanded input possibilities and executing Python code for data analysis.
Deep dives
Llama 2: Revised License Allows Commercial Use
Anthropic's Llama 2, the successor to the original Llama model from Meta, is now available for commercial use (as long as the monthly active user count is below 700 million). This change in licensing opens up new opportunities for businesses to leverage Llama 2 in their applications. with three model sizes: 7 billion, 13 billion, and 70 billion parameters, Llama 2 offers flexibility for various use cases. The fine-tuning capabilities of Llama 2 are also highlighted, enabling organizations to create models tailored to their specific tasks and perform better than general-purpose models.
Claude 2: Expanding Context Length & Code Interpretation
Anthropic's Claude 2 and OpenAI's Code Interpreter offer two different approaches to handling large language models. Claude 2 allows for a context length of 100,000 tokens and offers the ability to upload files, expanding the input possibilities, while maintaining a chat-based interface. On the other hand, Code Interpreter in OpenAI's Chat GPT enables users to upload data that is processed through a code interpreter. The model generates Python code that is executed to analyze the data, producing results that can be used further in the conversation.
Use Case Considerations: Multiple Models & Evaluating Outputs
Harnessing the power of multiple models simultaneously is proving to be an effective approach. This allows for comparison and evaluation of outputs across different models, facilitating the development of better intuition and understanding of their capabilities for specific use cases. Evaluating models for specific use cases should involve creating evaluation examples and testing various models to find the best match. Factors such as output consistency, validity, and factuality checks are among the criteria to consider for proper evaluation.
Implications and Opportunities in the AI Landscape
As AI models continue to evolve and become more accessible, the landscape is ripe with opportunities for organizations of all sizes. The availability of models like Llama 2 and Claude 2, with their commercial licensing and expanded capabilities, opens up new possibilities. Leveraging large language models, businesses can gain insights, generate content, and drive innovation across various industries. However, considerations such as licenses, model size, and approach should be weighed to ensure optimal use and deployment.
It was an amazing week in AI news. Among other things, there is a new NeRF and a new Llama in town!!! Zip-NeRF can create some amazing 3D scenes based on 2D images, and Llama 2 from Meta promises to change the LLM landscape. Chris and Daniel dive into these and they compare some of the recently released OpenAI functionality to Anthropic’s Claude 2.
