Meta AI's New Chatbot Goes 'Bad' in Days

Meta AI has built and unveiled BlenderBot 3, a 175 billion-parameter chatbot that it has made publicly available, complete with model weights, code, datasets, and model cards. "BlenderBot 3 delivers superior performance because it's built from Meta AI's publicly available OPT-175B language model -- approximately 58 times the size of BlenderBot 2," said Meta in an announcement on Friday. Unlike its predecessor, BlenderBot 3 can search the Internet to chat about almost any topic. Moreover, it can learn and improve its skills and safety through natural conversations and feedback from people in the real world. In contrast, most datasets are typically collected through research studies that "can't reflect the diversity of the real world", claims Meta.
