About Llama 3

Llama or Large Language Model Meta AI is a family of LLMs introduced by Meta AI in February 2023.
Features
- It is claimed to be the most sophisticated model with significant progress in terms of performance and AI capabilities.
- It is based on the Llama 2 architecture which has been released in two sizes, 8B and 70B parameters. Both sizes come with a base model and an instruction-tuned version that has been designed to augment performance in specific tasks.
- Reportedly, the instruction-tuned version is meant for powering AI chatbots that are meant to hold conversations with users.
