Meta Develops AI Model Equivalent to OpenAI’s GPT-4: Read More
Meta Platforms is working on a new artificial intelligence system that is meant to be as powerful as OpenAI’s most advanced model, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The Facebook parent company aims to have its new AI model ready next year, the Journal said, adding that it is several times more powerful than a commercial version called Llama 2.
Llama 2 is Meta’s open-source artificial intelligence language model, launched in July and distributed by Microsoft’s Azure cloud services to compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard.
The planned system, details of which may still change, would help other companies build services that produce sophisticated text, analytics and other output, the newspaper said.
Meta plans to begin training a new artificial intelligence system known as a large language model in early 2024, the report added.
Meta did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment.
Businesses and enterprises have flocked to the nascent generative AI market to seek new features and refine business processes since the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT late last year.
Bloomberg News reported in July that Apple is working on AI offerings like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard, adding that it has built its own Ajax framework to create large language models and is also testing a chatbot that some engineers are calling “Apple GPT”.
