Description:
Meta is training a new AI model that hopes to dethrone OpenAis GPT-4

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Meta is planning to meet, if not surpass, the powerful GPT-4 chatbots 
designed by OpenAI with its own sophisticated artificial intelligence bot. 
The company is planning on training the large language model (LLM) early next 
year, and likely hopes it will take the number one spot in the AI game. 

According to the Wall Street Journal , Meta has been buying up Nvidia H100 AI 
training chips and strengthening internal infrastructure to ensure that this 
time around, Meta wont have to rely on Microsofts Azure cloud platform to 
train its new chatbot. 

 The Verge notes that theres already a group within the company that was put 
together earlier in the year to begin work building the model, with the 
apparent goal being to quickly create a tool that can closely emulate human 
expressions. Is this what we want? And do companies care? 

Back in June, a leak suggested that a new Instagram feature would have 
chatbots integrated into the platform that could answer questions, give 
advice, and help users write messages. Interestingly, users would also be 
able to choose from 30 AI personalities and find which one [they] like best. 

It seems like this leak might actually come to fruition if Meta is putting in 
this much time and effort to replicate human expressiveness. Of course, the 
company will probably look to Snapchat AI for a comprehensive look at what 
not to do when it comes to squeezing AI chatbots into its apps, hopefully 
skipping the part where Snapchats AI bot got bullied and gave users some 
pretty disturbing advice . 

Overall, the AI scramble carries on as big companies continue to climb to the 
summit of a mysterious, unexplored mountain. Meta makes a point of ensuring 
the potential new LLM will remain free for other companies to base their own 
AI tools on, a net positive in my books. Well just have to wait for next year 
to see what exactly is in store.
