Use a language model
These large language models understand and generate natural language. They power chatbots, search engines, writing aids, and more.
Use these for:
- Conversational AI: Chat and engage in natural dialogue. Get an AI assistant.
- Question answering: Provide informative answers to questions. Build a knowledge base.
- Text generation: Generate fluent continuations of text. Autocomplete your writing.
- Summarization: Summarize long passages of text. Get key points quickly.
- Translation: Translate between languages. Communicate across language barriers.
Language models keep getting bigger and better at these tasks. The largest models today exhibit impressive reasoning skills. But you can get great results from smaller, faster, cheaper models too.
Our Pick: Meta Llama 3 8B Instruct
Meta’s new Llama 3 8B Instruct is the clear choice for most applications. With 8B parameters, an 8K context window, and advanced instruction tuning on 15T+ tokens, it achieves state-of-the-art performance on a wide range of tasks. A fast, affordable and flexible language model.
Upgrade Pick: Meta Llama 3 70B Instruct
For the most demanding applications, Llama 3 70B Instruct is the top performer. Its massive 70B parameters and training on 15T+ tokens deliver unparalleled accuracy and nuance across complex language tasks.
The 70B model shares the same efficiency benefits and safety features as the 8B version. But with greater capacity, it excels at applications like content creation, conversational AI, and code generation.
Budget Pick: Flan-T5 XL
For latency-sensitive, cost-constrained applications, Flan-T5 XL remains a strong choice. While it can’t match Llama 3’s overall performance, its lean 3B parameter size makes it fast and economical for focused tasks.
If speed and cost are critical and your use case is well-defined, like classification or summarization, Flan-T5 XL delivers reliable results quickly and affordably.
