Introduction

Meta plans to launch its most advanced AI language model, Llama3 405B, and intends to maintain its open-source status. The Llama3 405B release date is July 23, 2024. This model boasts more than 400 billion parameters. Let’s explore the model’s features and predictive applications in this blog.

What is Llama3 405B?

Background of Llama3 405B’s Release

In April 2024, Meta introduced Llama 3, a new edition of its AI-driven large language models. Initially offered in 8B and 70B parameter sizes, Llama 3 immediately surpassed the performance of Llama 2, Gemma, Gemini, and Claude upon its release. 

Meta has been growing an open AI ecosystem. Now a more powerful model called Llama3 405 B has been upgraded with over 400 billion parameter sizes. This marks an achievement for the open-source AI community as an open-source model has the potential to outperform the current leading closed-source LLM model like GPT-4. 

Once the model is released, Novita AI will provide LLM API service of Llama3 405B. We will also offer the latest information on Discord. Stay informed with us!

Improved Few-Shot Learning
The newly released Llama3 405 features an enhanced ability to adapt to new tasks with minimal examples.

What Are the Key Features of Llama3 405B

Benchmark Performances of Llama3 405B

Here are estimated benchmark performances for reference. Llama3 405B outperforms GPT-4o in multiple tests, including BoolQ, GSM8K, Hellaswag, MMLU-humanities, MMLU-other, MMLU-stem, and Winograd. These results are based on the base model of Llama3 405B, indicating that further adjustments and optimizations can release greater potential for the model, allowing it to achieve even higher performance in the benchmark tests later.

Technical Features

• Pretrained Tokens: 15 Trillion
• Layer Count: 118 layers
• Embedding Size: 16,384
• Vocabulary Size: 128,256
• Context Length: 128K context length versions

Open Source Advantages

Cost-effective
Developers, especially small businesses and tech startups can freely deploy these models and can do further customization to meet their unique needs. 
Flexibility
The flexibility to switch between open and closed models to mitigate risks associated with relying on one type of model is crucial for companies. With its open feature, the upgrade is no longer limited to a single company and can be widely deployed across many different systems.
Data Security
The open model reduces the risk of data breaches and enhances privacy, which is crucial for protecting sensitive data and ensuring regulatory compliance. Additionally, it’s feasible to implement data anonymization and encryption.

What Would It Take to Run Llama3 405B

Training Factors
