About Llama 2
Llama2 is a second-generation open-source large language model (LLM) from Meta AI. It is a successor to the Llama 1 model, which was released earlier this year. Llama2 has been trained on a vast amount of data to generate coherent and natural-sounding outputs. Llama 2 represents a major advance in conversational AI thanks to improvements like longer context, faster speeds, and reinforcement learning optimization. Fine-tuned for dialogue, Llama 2 delivers helpful and unbiased responses. It achieves high marks on safety and usefulness tests. Llama2 is a powerful tool that can be used for a variety of tasks. It is a valuable resource for researchers, developers, and anyone who wants to create or use large language models.
