A new AI language model called Llama 3.1 405B has been released by Meta, offering a GPT-4-class large language model for free download and use on personal hardware. This model, with 405 billion parameters, is positioned to rival other top AI models in various capabilities like general knowledge and multilingual translation. Meta claims that Llama 3.1 405B performs closely to industry-leading models like GPT-4 Turbo and Claude 3.5 Sonnet based on benchmarks. The release challenges the closed AI model approach by allowing anyone to download and run the model, emphasizing the benefits of open-source AI for user control and data security. Mark Zuckerberg supports this move, advocating for open AI releases to avoid vendor lock-in and high costs. However, there is debate over the use of the term "open source" in this context, with concerns raised about its misuse and potential impact on industry terminology. The Llama 3.1 models are available for download through Meta's website and Hugging Face, subject to a license and acceptable use policy.

I love that Ars-Technica calls out BS on the title of the article: "Open source AI is the path forward," says Mark Zuckerberg, misusing the term.
The author Edwards states correctly "...undermining your competitors using a model subsidized by a social media war chest is also an efficient way to play spoiler in a market where you might not always win with the most cutting-edge tech."
