Research only · Language · Milestone

LLaMA is a set of large language models for text from Meta, released on 24 February 2023 in sizes of 7B, 13B, 33B and 65B parameters to help researchers study such models. The weights were shared case by case with approved researchers under a non-commercial licence; from the Llama 2 launch on, Meta calls it Llama 1. [1] [2]README: Download [3] Primary source
