"Meta Unveils Llama 3-Powered AI Assistant, Challenging Google and OpenAI in AI Arms Race"
Meta Platforms' new large language model, Llama 3, has outperformed AI models from Google, Anthropic, and Mistral in benchmark tests, showing improvements in text-based responses, reasoning abilities, and code-writing capabilities. The 8B version of Llama 3 surpassed Gemma 7B and Mistral 7B in the MMLU benchmark, while the 70B version slightly edged Gemini Pro 1.5. Notably, Meta did not mention OpenAI's GPT-4 in its comparison. Meanwhile, OpenAI is expected to release a "significantly better" GPT-5 model later this year.
