Meta Llama: Everything you need to know about the open generative AI model

• Meta's Llama is an open generative AI model, allowing developers to download and use it with some limitations, unlike other models like OpenAI's GPT-4 and Google's Gemini which are API-only.
• Llama comes in three versions: Llama 8B, Llama 70B, and Llama 405B, with the latest being Llama 3.1 versions released in July 2024.
• The models are trained on diverse data sources and can handle tasks like coding, summarizing documents, and answering questions in multiple languages.
• Llama is available on platforms like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, and can be fine-tuned on popular cloud platforms like AWS and Google Cloud.
• Meta provides additional tools like Llama Guard and Prompt Guard to ensure safer use, but there are concerns about potential copyright issues and the reliability of AI-generated code.
