In recent years, there has been a notable advancement and use of large language models, or LLMs. The following are some noteworthy LLMs created by different businesses:
GPT-4o (OpenAI): The newest and most sophisticated language model was released by OpenAI. It delivers faster token production and is 50% less expensive than GPT-4. Interestingly, it has multimodal text, image, video, and voice capabilities.
Claude 3 (Human): The Claude 3 from Anthropic is a formidable rival to GPT-4. In contrast to GPT-4’s 32,000 tokens, it can analyze up to 200,000 tokens, or 150,000 words. Anthropic has received substantial funding from Amazon, which values the company at $15 billion.
With 314 billion parameters, Grok-1 (xAI), created by Elon Musk’s xAI, is presently the biggest open-source LLM.
Gemini (Google): Another notable LLM2 is Google’s Gemini, which is utilized in their chatbot of the same name.
LLaMA (Meta): The LLaMA model family from Meta is especially noteworthy.
Mistral AI Models: Mistral AI has made a number of models available, such as Mixtral 8x22B1 and Mistral 7B.
These LLMs are essential to software development, content generation, and chatbot applications.
