LLaMA is a series of large language models from 7B to 65B parameters, trained by Meta AI. They train for longer on more data and show that something like gpt-3 can be outperformed by significantly smaller models when trained like this. Meta also releases the trained models to the research community.

Abstract:
We introduce LLaMA, a collection of foundation language models ranging from 7B to 65B parameters. We train our models on trillions of tokens, and show that it is possible to train state-of-the-art models using publicly available datasets exclusively, without resorting to proprietary and inaccessible datasets. In particular, LLaMA-13B outperforms GPT-3 (175B) on most benchmarks, and LLaMA-65B is competitive with the best models, Chinchilla-70B and PaLM-540B. We release all our models to the research community.
