This release includes model weights and starting code for pretrained and fine-tuned Llama language models (Llama Chat, Code Llama) — ranging from 7B to 70B parameters.
Llama 2 pretrained models are trained on 2 trillion tokens, and have double the context length than Llama 1. Its fine-tuned models have been trained on over 1 million human annotations.
Benchmarks
Llama 2 outperforms other open source language models on many external benchmarks, including reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests.
More model details
Llama Chat
Llama 2 was pretrained on publicly available online data sources.
The fine-tuned model, Llama Chat, leverages publicly available instruction datasets and over 1 million human annotations.
Code Llama
Code Llama is a code generation model built on Llama 2, trained on 500B tokens of code. It supports common programming languages being used today, including Python, C++, Java, PHP, Typescript (Javascript), C#, and Bash.
We have a broad range of supporters around the world who believe in our open approach to today’s AI — companies that have given early feedback and are excited to build with Llama 2, cloud providers that will include the model as part of their offering to customers, researchers committed to doing research with the model, and people across tech, academia, and policy who see the benefits of Llama and an open platform as we do.
Statement of support for Meta’s open approach to today’s AI
“We support an open innovation approach to AI. Responsible and open innovation gives us all a stake in the AI development process, bringing visibility, scrutiny and trust to these technologies. Opening today’s Llama models will let everyone benefit from this technology.”
