A spectrum of possibilities in AI chatbot LLMs
We proudly present a significant expansion in our conversational AI offerings by integrating the Llama 2 into our AI Chatbot. Llama 2 is Facebook's open-source Large Language Model (LLM). It complements our current offering of proprietary LLM solutions from OpenAI (GPT) and Google (Palm 2). This strategic move allows businesses across industries, such as fintech and digital health to marketplaces and on-demand, to tailor their conversational AI approach to their unique performance and privacy needs.
Mitigating privacy risk with open-source LLMs
The recent scrutiny of third-party LLMs, such as the FTC investigation into OpenAI, has prompted businesses to reevaluate their AI strategies. By introducing an open-source Llama 2 integration, we're offering companies a solution that provides insights into the LLM architecture and training methodologies while eliminating the risk of data leaks by keeping private data on the Sendbird servers.
Enhancing performance with open-source LLMs
With Llama 2, companies can elevate LLM performance through fine-tuning. This involves post-training the LLM to extend its capabilities. For instance, a company may customize the language model for its industry by training it on specific terminologies, compliance standards, or contextual nuances. Sendbird offers assistance throughout this process, helping enterprises optimize performance tailored to their unique industry needs.
