Llama Linguistics
August 25, 2023
Good morning. A Twitch streamer has allegedly promised their mod a car if they can survive THREE days in a dark closet. I think it’s safe to say that AI’s not replacing the mod’s job anytime soon…

Meta's Code Llama: An Open-Source Leap in AI-Driven Code Generation
Midjourney
Meta just announced Code Llama, an open-source AI copilot built on Llama 2 capable of generating, debugging, and explaining code. Code Llama offers real-time code completion, appealing to coders and non-coders alike. It supports various programming languages, including Python, C++, Java, PHP, Typescript, C#, and Bash.
Unlike competitors such as GitHub's Copilot, Code Llama is all about open-source, which is a significant stride towards collaborative innovation. By opening the doors to the public, Meta invites a diverse array of minds to evaluate, modify, and enhance Code Llama. This could lead to unforeseen applications and advancements, such as AI-driven systems that assist in scientific research or enable small businesses to develop customized software without hiring expensive developers.
Then again, the open-source model also presents challenges and risks. The accessibility of Code Llama might lead to unintended consequences, such as the generation of code that poses security issues or violates intellectual property rights. The collaborative nature of open-source projects requires careful oversight and ethical considerations. To address some of these concerns, Meta has conducted internal testing with a team of 25 employees, ensuring that the model aligns with their safety and quality standards.

OpenAI Partners with Scale AI: Fine-Tuning Coming to Enterprise Soon
Midjourney
OpenAI, the AI startup responsible for ChatGPT, has recently announced a partnership with Scale AI, a leading data labeling company. This collaboration aims to make it easier for developers, particularly enterprises, to fine-tune OpenAI's GPT-3.5 text-generating models using custom data. For instance, a retail company could fine-tune the model to respond to customer inquiries in a tone that matches its brand voice, providing a more human-like customer support bot.
Scale AI has emphasized that the fine-tuned GPT-3.5 models will be reviewed by human experts to ensure they meet performance expectations and safety requirements. This human oversight adds a layer of quality control, ensuring that a medical advice chatbot, for example, provides accurate and responsible information to patients seeking guidance on health-related issues.
OpenAI's COO, Brad Lightcap, expressed excitement about working with Scale AI to extend the benefits of OpenAI's capabilities to more companies.
Whether it's a small bakery using AI to manage inventory or a global corporation deploying AI for customer service, the OpenAI and Scale AI partnership promises to make AI more adaptable and aligned with specific business needs.

💰 Modular's $100M & Mojo's Promise
Modular, co-founded by Xooglers Chris Lattner and Tim Davis in 2022, raised $100 million in a funding round led by General Catalyst. Based in Palo Alto, the startup aims to simplify AI system development. Their engine enhances AI model performance on CPUs and will soon support GPUs. Their programming language, Mojo, combines Python's ease with advanced features. Despite Python's dominance in the AI community, Lattner believes in Mojo's potential, citing Modular's rapid community growth and strong industry interest.
🌎 South Korea's Internet Giant
South Korean company Naver just announced its generative AI tool, HyperCLOVA X, featuring a ChatGPT-like chatbot, CLOVA X, and a search engine, Cue.
