Amazon announced the general availability of Llama 3.1 models from Meta in Amazon Bedrock. These models are Meta's most advanced and capable yet, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance on a wide range of industry benchmarks and offering new capabilities for your generative AI applications.
Llama 3.1 405B is the world's largest publicly available large language model (LLM), according to Meta, and sets a new standard for AI. It is ideal for enterprise-level applications and research and development (R&D). Llama 3.1 70B is ideal for content creation, conversational AI, language understanding, R&D, and enterprise applications. Llama 3.1 8B is best suited for limited computational power and resources.
Amazon makes these models available through Amazon Bedrock, which provides a range of features to help you build secure and reliable generative AI applications, such as data governance and model evaluation features.
Users can test the Llama 3.1 models in the Amazon Bedrock console, or use them through the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) and AWS SDKs. They can also use all Llama 3.1 models (8B, 70B, and 405B) in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart.
This move by Amazon is a significant step in the field of generative AI, as it gives users access to the latest and most powerful large language models. This step is expected to accelerate the pace of innovation in this field.
