In the dynamic realm of artificial intelligence, Large Language Models (LLMs) like LLaMA, developed by Meta (formerly known as Facebook Inc.), are pivotal, driving significant advancements in technology. The term “Meta” refers to the tech giant that has expanded its focus from social media to broader technological innovations, including AI research. The LLaMA series, which stands for “Large Language Model Meta AI,” showcases this progression in machine learning and natural language processing. These models operate by predicting the next word from a sequence of words inputted, thus generating coherent and contextually relevant text.

Distinguished by its open-source nature, LLaMA stands apart in an industry where many powerful models are proprietary. This openness encourages a broad base of innovation, allowing developers, researchers, and even hobbyists to experiment and improve on LLaMA’s capabilities without significant costs. Each iteration, from LLaMA 1 to the most advanced LLaMA 3, builds…
