IBM Unveils Llama 2 on Watsonx AI Platform for Businesses
International Business Machines announced Wednesday that it will host Meta Platforms’ artificial intelligence language program on the company’s own artificial intelligence platform, watsonx.
IBM’s watsonx, which helps businesses integrate artificial intelligence into their workflows, is giving some customers early access to Facebook parent Llama 2.
Since the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT late last year sparked interest among consumers and businesses, businesses have increasingly sought to bring AI into their processes to improve efficiency and bring advanced features.
The enterprise software vendor said the release of Meta’s open-source AI model will be followed by additional software such as AI tuning studios, datasheets and other generative AI models.
Llama 2 is a commercial version of Meta’s open-source AI language model, launched in July and distributed by Microsoft’s Azure cloud services to compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard in the nascent generative AI market.
