Introducing Llama 3.1: Our most capable models to date
ai.meta.com
Bringing open intelligence to all, our latest models expand context length, add support across eight languages, and include Meta Llama 3.1 405B— the first frontier-level open source AI model.

Meta has released llama 3.1. It seems to be a significant improvement to an already quite good model. It is now multilingual, has a 128k context window, has some sort of tool chaining support and, overall, performs better on benchmarks than its predecessor.

With this new version, they also released their 405B parameter version, along with the updated 70B and 8B versions.

I’ve been using the 3.0 version and was already satisfied, so I’m excited to try this.

    The license has limitations and isn’t something standard like Apache

      True, but it hardly matters for the source since the architecture is pulled into open source projects like transformers (Apache) and llama.cpp (MIT). The weights remain under the dubious Llama Community License, so I would only call the data “available” instead of “open”.
