New Open-Source ‘Falcon’ AI Language Model Overtakes Meta and Google

A new open-source AI language model called Falcon has surpassed Meta and Google's models in terms of size and performance. Falcon, with its 180 billion parameters, outflanks Meta's LLaMA 2 model, which has 70 billion parameters. The model has been trained on 3.5 trillion tokens and achieves strong results on natural language processing tasks. It ranks on the leaderboard for open access models and is comparable to commercial models like Google's PaLM-2. This advancement highlights the progress being made in open-source AI language models.
