The recent launch of LLAMA 3 by Meta (formerly Facebook) has reignited the debate on measuring the performance of artificial intelligence (AI) models and the validity of current benchmarks. This new open-source model represents a significant step forward in the democratization of AI, but it also raises important questions about the objective evaluation of AI system capabilities.
LLAMA 3, an acronym for "Large Language Model Meta AI," has been made available in two main variants: one with 8 billion parameters and another with 70 billion. This differentiation allows for greater flexibility in the model's application, adapting to various computational and performance needs. The model is freely accessible to developers through the Meta Llama Downloads portal, although it is currently not available in Italian (at the time I published this review).
