Open Source Launch day
Meta's Llama 2, Scale LLM engine and LangSmith for AI production.
Hello folks, here’s what we have today;
p.s. I jumped the gun on Superhuman AI, they delayed their launch to actually be today, my bad :)
Our picks
1/
Meta has outdone itself in their launch of Llama 2, the next edition of its open-source models. It has 3 sizes with 7B, 13B, and 70B parameters and is trained on 2T tokens.
The technical paper includes details about pre-training, red teaming, and other methodologies used by them. They’ve also got plenty of support from the likes of a16z, Intel, YC, etc. for this open approach. And…a bunch of Azure servers from Microsoft.
2/
Scale AI is releasing its Scale LLM Engine to fine-tune open-source models.
Timing it with the Llama 2 launch, Scale has open-sourced this with multiple resources on finetuning Llama 2 in this thread. There’s also an offering for enterprise customers who want to use Scale’s Data Engine to build customs LLMs.
3/
Langchain is joining this unofficial launch day with a new platform LangSmith. Langsmith will allow devs to debug, test, evaluate, and monitor their LLM applications in one place so that they can be deployed beyond just a Twitter demo.
Langsmith is in beta now. It’s wild to see Langchain go from a GitHub project to big tech like landing pages. AI is awesome.
