Generative AI in 2024 (Up to September): An In-Depth Exploration of OpenAI o1, Llama 3.1, Gemini 1.5 Flash, and Claude 3.5
In 2024, we’ve seen a significant leap forward in the field of generative AI, driven by advancements in models like Llama 3.1 from Meta, Gemini 1.5 Flash from Google, OpenAI’s o1, and Claude 3.5 by Anthropic. These developments go beyond what we’ve seen with previous models, bringing new capabilities in reasoning, multimodal data processing, and context handling. If you’re working with large datasets, need better reasoning in AI systems, or want to take advantage of state-of-the-art text, image, and audio processing, these are the models you’ll want to explore.
Let’s break down what each of these new models offers and how they can be applied to real-world problems.
Llama 3.1: Open Source at Scale
Meta’s Llama 3.1 is the latest update in their open-source large language model series. What makes this release stand out is the increase in model size and the improvements in its ability to process larger pieces of content.
- Larger Context Window: One of the most notable improvements is the expansion of the context window from 8,192 tokens to 128,000 tokens. This allows Llama 3.1 to handle far larger datasets, conversations, or documents without…
