Facebook owner Meta unveiled its own version of the artificial intelligence used in apps like ChatGPT on Friday, saying it would allow researchers to find solutions to the potential risks of the technology.
Mita described its AI software, called LLaMA, as a “smaller, better performing” model, “designed” to help researchers advance their work, in what could be seen as a veiled criticism of Microsoft’s decision to release the technology widely, while keeping the programming code. Secretly.
Microsoft-backed ChatGPT has made a sensation around the world with its ability to generate perfect text, such as essays or poems, in just seconds using a technology known as Language Large Models (LLM).
LLM technology is part of a field known as generative artificial intelligence, which also includes the ability to act on images, designs, or programming code almost instantly on a simple request.
Microsoft deepened its partnership with OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT, announcing earlier this month that the technology would be integrated into its Bing search engine as well as the Edge browser.
Seeing a sudden threat to its search engine dominance, Google has announced that it will soon launch its own language of artificial intelligence, called Bard.
However, reports of vulnerabilities in communications with Microsoft’s Bing engine chatbot, including threats and talk of a desire to steal nuclear code, spread widely, giving the impression that the technology is not yet ready.
Meta noted that these problems, which AI has shown through chatbots, which some have likened to hallucinations, could be better addressed if researchers can improve access to this expensive technology.
The company said the comprehensive research “remains limited by the resources required to train and operate such large models.”
Meta explained that this hinders efforts to “improve the capabilities” of this technology, and “mitigate known issues, such as bias” and “the potential to generate misinformation”.
