00:00Meta has just dropped a bombshell in the AI world with their latest release, the Llama 3.1 AI model, and it's pretty groundbreaking.
00:09There's a lot to unpack here, so let's get started.
00:11Alright, so, Meta's been gaining a lot of attention with its Llama models for a while, but with Llama 3.1, they've really upped their game.
00:18The star of this release is obviously the 405b model, which is touted as the world's largest and most capable open AI model, and it's setting some serious benchmarks in the industry.
00:28The Llama 3.1 405b model packs a whopping 405 billion parameters.
00:35Now, to put that in perspective, parameters are like the brain cells of AI models.
00:39The more you have, the smarter and more capable your model can be.
00:42Meta trained this model on over 15 trillion tokens, which are essentially fragments of words, phrases, figures, and punctuation.
00:50This colossal training required the equivalent of 30.84 million GPU hours and produced the equivalent of 11,390 tons of CO2 emissions.
01:01It's a massive undertaking, but the results speak for themselves.
01:05Now, this model has been trained on 16,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs.
01:10These are top-of-the-line GPUs that are essential for handling the immense computational load required to train such a large model.
01:17Despite its size, Meta claims that the Llama 3.1 405b can go head-to-head with some of the biggest names in AI,
01:25like OpenAI's GPT-4 and Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
01:31That's a bold claim, but Meta's experimental evaluations suggest it's competitive across a range of tasks,
01:38from generating pros to answering chat responses.
01:41Now, one of the most exciting aspects of Llama 3.1 is its openness.
01:45Meta has released this model as open source, which is a big deal.
01:50In the world of AI, open source means that the code and the model are available for anyone to use, modify, and improve.
01:58This approach has a lot of benefits.
02:00For one, it allows for a broader ecosystem of developers and companies to build upon the model,
02:06creating new tools, services, and applications.
02:09It also means that the technology is more accessible and can be used in a wider range of applications,
02:14from academic research to commercial products.
02:17Meta has also rolled out updated versions of their smaller Llama models, the 70b and 8b variants.
02:23These models have been upgraded with support for eight languages,
02:27English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Hindi, Spanish, and Thai.
02:30They've also been given a much larger context window, now supporting up to 128,000 tokens.
02:36A context window is like an AI's short-term memory.
02:40The bigger it is, the more information the model can hold onto at any given moment.
02:45This is particularly useful for tasks like long-form summarization or coding assistance,
02:49where a lot of context is needed to generate accurate responses.
02:52One of the challenges with running such a large model like the 405B is the hardware requirements.
02:58At 405 billion parameters, it requires roughly 810 GB of memory to run at the full 16-bit precision it was trained at.
03:07This is more than a single NVIDIA DGX-H100 system, which has eight H100 accelerators in a box, can handle.
03:14To address this, Meta has released an 8-bit quantized version of the model, which cuts the memory footprint roughly in half.
03:21Quantization is a technique used to reduce the precision of the model's parameters,
03:25which makes it more efficient to run without significantly impacting performance.
03:29Now, let's talk about why this matters.
03:31For developers and organizations, the open-source nature of Llama 3.1 means they can train, fine-tune, and distill their own models.
03:41This flexibility is crucial because different organizations have different needs.
03:45Some might require small models for on-device tasks and classification,
03:49while others might need larger models for more complicated tasks.
03:53With Llama 3.1, you can take the most advanced models, continue training them with your own data,
03:58and then distill them down to the optimal size for your specific use case.
04:03Meta is also collaborating with a range of companies to grow the broader ecosystem.
04:07Amazon Databricks and NVIDIA are launching full suites of services to support developers in fine-tuning and distilling their own models.
04:14Companies like Grok have built low-latency, low-cost inference, serving for all the new models.
04:20The models will be available on all major clouds, including AWS, Azure, Google, Oracle, and more.
04:26Companies like Scale AI, Dell, and Deloitte are ready to help enterprises adopt Llama and train custom models with their own data.
04:33This collective effort will help make Llama the industry standard and bring the benefits of AI to everyone.
04:39Meta's commitment to open source is driven by several factors.
04:42First, it ensures that they always have access to the best technology and are not locked into a competitor's closed ecosystem.
04:49This is crucial for Meta, especially given the constraints they've faced with platforms like Apple.
04:54By building an open ecosystem, Meta and other companies can innovate more freely without being restricted by arbitrary rules and constraints imposed by closed platforms.
05:04Second, open-sourcing Llama allows for a more competitive AI landscape.
05:09AI development is highly competitive, and open-sourcing a model doesn't give away a massive advantage because the field is constantly evolving.
05:16By consistently releasing competitive, efficient, and open models generation after generation, Meta can ensure that Llama remains at the forefront of AI development.
05:26And third, selling access to AI models isn't Meta's business model.
05:30This means that openly releasing Llama doesn't undercut their revenue or ability to invest in research.
05:36This is a significant advantage over closed model providers who rely on selling access to their models for revenue.
05:42Finally, Meta has a long history of successful open-source projects.
05:48They've saved billions of dollars by releasing their server, network, and data-centered designs with the Open Compute Project and have benefited from the ecosystem's innovations.
05:57Projects like PyTorch and React have become industry standards, and Meta aims to achieve similar success with Llama.
06:04Open-source AI is also beneficial for the world.
06:06It ensures that more people have access to the benefits and opportunities of AI, prevents power from being concentrated in the hands of a few companies, and promotes the even and safe deployment of AI technology across society.
06:19There is an ongoing debate about the safety of open-source AI models, but Meta believes that open-source AI will be safer than closed alternatives.
06:27Open-source allows for greater transparency and scrutiny, which historically has led to more secure software.
06:33Now, Meta's safety process for Llama includes rigorous testing and red-teaming to assess potential risks and mitigate them before release.
06:40The models are also developed with safety systems like LlamaGuard, which helps ensure they are used responsibly.
06:46Since these models are trained on information already available on the Internet, the starting point for considering harm is whether a model can facilitate more harm than information that can quickly be retrieved from search engines like Google.
06:58Regarding intentional harm, Meta believes that a world where AI is widely deployed is safer because larger actors can check the power of smaller bad actors.
07:07Larger institutions deploying AI at scale will promote security and stability across society.
07:12Open-source promotes this balance by ensuring that everyone has access to similar generations of models.
07:18Meta also addresses the geopolitical implications of open-source AI.
07:22Some argue that closing models is necessary to prevent adversaries like China from gaining access to them.
07:28However, Meta believes that this approach will not work and will only disadvantage the U.S. and its allies.
07:33Instead, building a robust, open ecosystem and working closely with the government and allies will provide a sustainable first-mover advantage
07:41and ensure that the latest advances are accessible to those who need them most.
07:44The Llama 3.1 release is not just about the models themselves, but also about the broader ecosystem Meta is building.
07:51Meta has released a reference system that includes sample apps and components like the Llama Guard 3 safety model and Prompt Guard, its prompt injection filter.
08:00They're also seeking feedback from industry partners, startups, and community members to shape the future of the Llama stack.
08:07This will eventually form a series of standardized interfaces that define how toolchain components and eugenic applications should be built,
08:13with the goal of making these interfaces the industry standard.
08:17Meta's approach to AI development is reminiscent of the open-source Linux kernel's victory over proprietary Unix operating systems.
08:24Just as Linux gained popularity and became the industry standard by being open, affordable, and more advanced over time,
08:30Meta believes that AI will develop in a similar way.
08:34By investing in open-source AI, Meta aims to build a robust ecosystem that will benefit everyone,
08:39from startups and universities to large enterprises and governments.
08:42With the Llama 3.1 release, Meta is not only advancing AI technology, but also promoting a vision of an open and collaborative future.
08:51They're committed to enabling as many developers and partners as possible to use Llama and building partnerships to offer unique functionality to their customers.
08:59This release is a significant step towards making open-source AI the industry standard and bringing the benefits of AI to everyone in the world.
