Meta isn’t the only company to open its LLM code-so have Abu Dhabi’s Technology Innovation Institute and San Francisco’s MosaicML-but it might be the biggest company to do so. Days after Meta launched its LLM with the intent of vetting the researchers and academics who earned access to the model, it leaked on 4chan, a messaging platform known for spreading misinformation. Critics worry the technology could be manipulated by bad actors to spread disinformation and hate speech. According to Meta, open-sourcing its technology will democratize access to AI among researchers and help them test bias and toxicity within LLMs. But unlike OpenAI and Google, the Facebook and Instagram parent made the underlying code available for download, meaning it can be copied and modified to create new chatbots. The extension does not record your browsing history, capture your passwords or bank account numbers, or secretly collect or change data you submit on a web form.Meta developed an LLM with the capability of powering chatbots earlier this year, similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard.
