Meta's Llama 3 language model outperforms competitors in tests

Meta's new Llama 3 language model, with 8B and 70B parameters, outperforms similar models like Google's Gemma and Gemini. In benchmark tests, Llama 3 excels in diversity, reasoning, and code writing. Human evaluators also rated Llama 3 higher than OpenAI's GPT-3.5. Meta plans to expand Llama 3's capabilities to include multimodal responses. Larger models with over 400B parameters are in training and show promising performance.
