Looks like it (the 8B version) blows out of the water the other free models, really great stuff from Yann and Zuck.

Guess the moat is disappearing day by day.

Pretty sure Yann is not involved in this - Meta has a separate GenAI group headed up by Ahmad Al-Dahle (@Ahmad_Al_Dahle).

There's a lot of people on that list!

LeCun is head of FAIR (FaceBook AI Research), which is a different internal organization than the GenAI group responsible for these Llama LLMs.
