Anyscale incorporates Llama-2 into their ecosystem. The company just announced a collaboration with Meta to strengthen the Llama-2 model. Joe Spisak, from Meta, will provide more insights at the Ray Summit.
About Llama and The Llama Ecosystem
Llama, especially Llama-2, is a series of LLMs released to the public by Meta. They vary in size from 7B to 70B parameters and surpass other open-source language models in various benchmarks. These benchmarks include reasoning, coding proficiency, and knowledge tests. Llama-2 isn’t just a collection of models; it represents a platform that the wider AI community has embraced, leading to hundreds of derivatives and a growing ecosystem spanning both academia and the business world.
Llama-2 Accessibility via Anyscale Endpoints
Anyscale offers direct access to the Llama-2 models through Anyscale Endpoints, an API compatible with OpenAI designed for LLM inference with open models. This feature allows AI developers to substitute closed models with Llama-2 models or incorporate both types within a single application.
The combination of the Llama models and Anyscale Endpoints aims to deliver top-tier, cost-efficient LLM inferences to a wide array of developers.
Competing with GPT-4 using Llama-2 and Fine-Tuning
Many AI developers prioritize cost efficiency. Instead of relying on expensive, large-scale general-purpose models, many are looking towards smaller, fine-tuned models as a way to achieve efficient LLM inferences. Recent studies on LLM fine-tuning have indicated that even the smallest Llama-2 model can surpass GPT-4 in tasks like SQL query generation when appropriately fine-tuned.
While the advantages vary depending on the task, fine-tuning generally improves model performance, suggesting that it will be pivotal in enhancing model quality without sacrificing speed or cost.
Meta’s Participation at Ray Summit
Joe Spisak, who is at the forefront of generative AI open source and Llama models development at Meta, will delve deeper into this topic at the Ray Summit scheduled from September 18-20 in San Francisco. More details about the sessions can be found here. Anyscale eagerly awaits your presence in San Francisco.
