Meta has introduced a new series of Llama 3.1 AI models, including a powerful 405B version that rivals leading closed systems. The company also renewed the license, allowing the results of the models to be used to improve other AI systems.
Breakthrough in AI
New flagship model Meta
Meta Corporation, known for its social media and technology innovations, recently unveiled its latest AI development, the Llama 3.1 405B. In its official announcement, the company claims that this model is the most powerful among all open source systems and is able to compete with the best closed counterparts on the market.
Performance benchmarking
Meta specialists have thoroughly tested the Llama 3.1 405B, comparing its characteristics with other popular AI models. Evaluation results have shown that the updated version of Llama outperforms established systems such as OpenAI's GPT-4 and GPT-4o and Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet in some tasks.
Variety of Llama 3.1 models
In addition to the flagship 405B, Meta also introduced smaller models - 8B and 70B. Experiments have shown that these versions demonstrate competitiveness compared to other open and closed models with a similar number of parameters.
“Our new models support multiple languages, have significantly increased context length (128K), use advanced tools, and generally demonstrate stronger reasoning capabilities. This allows them to cope with advanced usage scenarios, such as summarizing voluminous texts, creating multilingual dialog agents and programming assistants," the company's blog notes about the Llama 3.1 8B and 70B models.
License terms update
Meta also announced changes to the license agreement, providing developers with the ability to use the results of the Llama models, including the 405B, to improve other artificial intelligence systems.
Developer Availability
Machine learning options for Llama models are now available for download. The company emphasizes that developers can fully adapt the models to their specific needs and applications, train them on new data sets, and make additional adjustments.

Wow! Meta once again impressed with its Llama 3.1 405B. Wondering how this will affect the AI market? 🤔 It seems they are seriously aiming to compete with OpenAI and Anthropic.
Sophie
Yes, Oleksandr! I am also delighted. What is particularly interesting is that they allow the results to be used to improve other models. This can give impetus to the development of the entire industry! 🚀
Hans
Sophie, you are right. Open source is the future of AI. But I'm more interested in how these models will handle multilingualism. Has anyone already tested them in German?
Maria
Hans, I haven't tried it in German yet, but I've read that the results are impressive in many languages. By the way, 128K of context is just space! 😍 Can you imagine how many possibilities this opens up for the analysis of large texts?
Giovanni
Oh, that AI talk again. Why do we need all these models? Previously, people lived perfectly without them, and nothing. Only heads are clogged with all this unnecessary.
Pierre
Giovanni, I understand your skepticism, but these technologies are already changing the world. For example, in medicine, AI helps diagnose diseases faster. And in education? Personalized learning is becoming a reality. It's not just a trend, it's progress! 💡
Oleksandr
Pierre is right. And one more point - the possibility of customization for specific needs. This opens the door to innovation in various industries. Imagine how this could help a small business!
Sophie
Absolutely agree! 👍 And another cool thing is that developers can train the model on new data sets. This can be revolutionary for specific industries that require unique expertise.
