Companies are now readily looking to incorporate AI capabilities in their products. Companies like Google and ChaGPT maker OpenAI have opened their AI models for businesses, and Facebook parent Meta is reportedly joining the fray. According to a report, the social media company is set to release a new commercial version of the language model, LLaMA.
The Financial Times reported that LLaMA commercial version will help companies to develop a customised chatbot. Meta has already allowed researchers and academics to access its language model.
“The competitive landscape of AI is going to completely change in the coming months, in the coming weeks maybe, when there will be open source platforms that are actually as good as the ones that are not,” Yann LeCun, Meta’s vice-president and Chief AI scientist, said earlier this month.
Meta announced the LLaMA in February this year in several sizes (7B, 13B, 33B, and 65B parameters) so it can be used by a range of users and companies. At I/O 2023, Google also talked about multiple LLMs that are suited to companies of different sizes.
AI chatbots on Meta LLMs
According to the report, Meta may also be looking to create AI chatbots specific to an individual or business. Company CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other executives have hinted at a push towards creating multiple AI chatbots across Meta platforms Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook, which will be powered by its LLMs.
Meta’s new speech dataset
Amid these reports, Zuckerberg also announced that the company is also open sourcing a new speech data set. The motive of this data set is to make speech recognition models better understand speaking styles and accents.
“We are open sourcing a new speech data set that has been designed to be more inclusive by capturing different speaking styles, accents and characteristics. The data set will help speech recognition models better understand the many different ways people speak. We hope this helps improve AI speech recognition for everyone,” Zuckerberg said in his Channel on Instagram.
