This Week in the Future

Our ML engineer Tom Gause recaps the top AI news of the week

Meta released Code Llama, an open source development tool built on its Llama 2 large language model, to generate and debug code. Llama 2 did not perform well at coding tasks, and Code Llama still falls short of GPT-4 but is the best among open source options for code generation. Code Llama will use the same community license as Llama 2 and is free for research and commercial use.

Real time translation, enabling you to travel anywhere while being able to speak to anyone in any language, is a technical challenge that could be solved with AI. SeamlessM4T is a step towards realizing that future.

Fine-tuning for GPT-3.5 Turbo is now available, with fine-tuning for GPT-4 coming this fall. This update gives developers the ability to customize models that perform better for their use cases and run these custom models at scale.
