Leading AI Models

Last year, Meta's Llama 2 was seen as a simpler AI model, but the new model, Llama 3.1, released in July, has been reviewed as one of the best current models. Llama 3.1 is capable of outperforming many closed-source models in tasks like following instructions and solving math problems.

Now there are three major players in the large language AI model space. Meta’s Llama 3.1, ChatGPT-4 and Google’s Gemini are all trained on very large datasets to be able to find patterns in text that allow for tasks like answering questions, generating text, and summarizing information. Llama 3.1 uses one of the largest databases, which should make it one of the strongest. ChatGPT-4 is free and it is starting to move past just text inputs and responses by allowing users to input images, video, and voice. Google’s Gemini’s model is set up with a Mixture-of-Experts architecture. While other models use one network, Gemini has multiple smaller networks with different strengths which could lead to more efficiency.

I believe having multiple companies in the AI space will lead to more innovation. AI is evolving quickly, and with more competition for creative ideas, the technology will become stronger. Now it is important for companies as well as other players like universities and governments to think about ethical and safety concerns as AI grows and becomes more powerful.
