📌 BIG NEWS

Meta’s LLaMA Has Leaked Online

Meta recently unveiled its own AI model, LLaMA (Large Language Model Meta AI) and released it to a select number of researchers.

But unfortunately, this LLaMa broke out of its pen. The model leaked online, with users now able to download it (thanks, no thanks, 4Chan!) 

This marks the first time a big name AI model has been leaked to the public. Bad news for Meta, but bad news for everyone else as this leak could potentially lead to bad actors using the model to build bad things.

Despite the leak, Meta’s not changing its plans to release it for research purposes.

If that’s not enough, Meta’s also facing some backlash regarding its latest layoffs as they shift focus from their metaverse to artificial intelligence.

It’s been a tough week for the tech giant.
