In As part of the continued roll-out of our enterprise-ready AI and data platform, watsonx, IBM plans to host Meta's Llama 2-chat 70 billion parameter model in the watsonx.ai studio, with early access now available to select clients and partners. This will build on IBM's collaboration with Meta on open innovation for AI, including work with open-source projects developed by Meta – such as the PyTorch machine learning framework and the Presto query engine used in watsonx. data.
This will also support IBM's strategy of offering both third-party and its own AI models. Currently, in watsonx.ai, AI builders can leverage models from IBM and the Hugging Face community, which are pre-trained to support a range of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, including question answering, content generation, summarization, text classification, and extraction.
The future availability of Llama 2 in watsonx.ai will be another milestone on IBM's generative AI roadmap and is expected to be followed by the coming releases of its AI Tuning Studio, additional AI models in watsonx.ai, and FactSheets in watsonx. governance.
IBM is committed to keeping trust and security principles at the forefront as it continues to roll out its generative AI capabilities. For instance, when users run the Llama 2 model through the prompt lab in watsonx.ai, they can toggle on the AI guardrails function to help automatically remove harmful language from the input prompt text and the output generated by the model. Meta also accounts for the fine-tuning methodology used in their large language models.
Furthermore, IBM Consulting has the expertise of 21,000 data, AI, and automation consultants, and its Center of Excellence for Generative AI comprises more than 1,000 consultants with specialized generative AI expertise. These experts can help clients tune and operationalize models for targeted use cases aligned to their specific business requirements.
IBM, like Meta, is a supporter of open innovation. There is value in engaging a robust and diverse community of AI builders and researchers to test, share feedback and collaborate on these technologies to drive further innovation. We are excited to see what these innovators will build with Llama 2 and other models on the watsonx platform.
