Tech giants are developing their own language models, with Facebook's Lama AI model aiming to be cheaper and require less computing power than GPT-3, while Alpaca emerges in the competitive AI market, leading to potential job losses and the need for a regulating body.
Microsoft, Open eye, Google, and China's most popular search engine are competing with their own language models, while Facebook is also joining the competition.
Lama, an AI model equivalent to GPT-3, has been released to democratize access to AI models, but concerns arise as it has been stolen and may be used for malicious purposes, while other animal-named models like Alpaca emerge in the competitive AI market.
Large models like GPT, Baidu, Lama, and Alpaca are bringing interesting features and improvements to existing models, with Lama being a large model developed by Facebook's AI research team specializing in generating text from a sequence of words.
Lama's models, with 13 billion and 65 billion parameters, aim to be cheaper and require less computing power than existing models like GPT-3, while still being able to compete with larger models like Google's Chinchilla and Bread.
Models previously only usable on expensive computers can now be run on cheaper devices, such as a Raspberry Pi, thanks to the leaked Lama model and the new dalae package.
Alpaca is a language model created by Stanford University researchers that has the same capacity as OpenAI's GPT-3 but can be run on cheaper machines and was trained using GPT-3 to generate instructions.
The battle of the CEA is advancing quickly and may require a regulating body due to the open use of alpaca and the potential job replacements listed in Open eye's research paper.
