3 ways Meta's Llama 3.1 is an advance for Gen AI
Briefly

Llama 3.1, with 405 billion neural weights, showcases a new frontier in AI models and unique engineering choices, setting it apart from other large-scale models like Nemotron 4 and Gemma 2.
Meta's decision to opt for a standard decoder-only transformer model architecture over a 'mixture of experts' approach contributes to the stability of Llama 3.1 during training, enhancing its performance.
The innovative training approach employed by Meta's researchers further enhances the results of the transformer-based model, highlighting the company's commitment to improving AI capabilities.
Meta's advancements with Llama 2 in reducing deep learning's compute budget are complemented by the choices made in building and training Llama 3.1 405B, setting a new standard in large language models.
