Meta unveils new language model in race against ChatGPT rivals

The company will make available the underlying code for users to tweak the model and use it for research-related use cases. The model, which Meta said requires “far less” computing power, is trained on 20 languages with a focus on those with Latin and Cyrillic alphabets.

“Meta’s announcement today appears to be a step in testing their generative AI capabilities so they can implement them into their products in the future,” said Gil Luria, senior software analyst at D.A. Davidson.

“Generative AI is a new application of AI that Meta has less experience with, but is clearly important for the future of their business.”

Meta in May last year released large language model OPT-175B, also aimed at researchers, which formed the basis of a new iteration of its chatbot BlenderBot.

It later launched a model called Galactica, which it said could write scientific articles and solve math problems, but its demo was later pulled down because it repeatedly generated authoritative-sounding content.
