We Ask How Meta AI Can Help Law Firms
Meta AI has truly arrive and the new release has made waves in the artificial intelligence (AI) landscape with the introduction of its latest large language model, Llama-3, touted as the “most capable” and “top open source model” presently available.
The ‘large language model’ (LLM) used by the new, Meta Llama 3 is an accessible, open-source large language model designed for developers, researchers, and businesses to develop and build generative AI ideas.
The company’s unveiling of Llama-3’s general availability, along with a new dedicated “Meta AI” portal, has ignited excitement in the tech community, suggesting that established leaders like Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic now face formidable competition from the entity formerly known as Facebook.
In a blog post, Meta boasted about the status of its Llama suite of LLMs in the global AI model hierarchy:
“This next generation of Llama showcases cutting-edge performance across various industry benchmarks and introduces new features, including enhanced reasoning capabilities. We assert that these are unequivocally the premier open source models in their category.”
Analysts and observers have eagerly anticipated the arrival of Llama-3, with many asserting that preview versions demonstrated superior reasoning and performance compared to contemporary rivals GPT and Gemini, offerings from OpenAI and Google, respectively.
The market for large language models continues to expand steadily, with updates to leading models occurring regularly.
Speculation suggests that current market leader OpenAI is on the brink of unveiling its latest model, potentially named GPT-5 following previous naming conventions.
Reports from Business Insider indicate that the upcoming GPT model will represent a significant improvement over its predecessors, although these claims have not been confirmed.
Competition in the LLM market is intensifying, with Microsoft and Google reportedly investing billions of dollars, which will potentially transform many industries, including law. Microsoft and OpenAI have committed $100 billion to construct a new AI super data center, while Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis has hinted at Google’s intention to spend even more.
While the financial stakes continue to escalate, the potential rewards are immense. Both Google and Microsoft assert that the race is on to develop the world’s first artificial general intelligence (AGI). An AGI system, in theory, would possess the capability to perform any task that a human can, given the necessary resources.
