Meta to Launch New AI, Expecting ChatGPT-Level Hype

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has announced the launch of a new AI-based large-language model focused on research community use. The move puts the company in competition with others racing to develop AI technology. AI has become the most popular buzzword this year, with major tech companies such as Microsoft, Google, Baidu, Alibaba, and now Meta embracing it. The battle to become the forerunner has already kicked off in the technology space, with big companies dropping metaverse projects to pump up the AI hype. Meta's AI, specifically LLaMA-13B seems exciting, but again I don't think any of these tools are ready for broad public adoption.
