Sendbird introduces Llama 2 for enhanced privacy and performance AI chatbots
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.
Navigating conversational AI options: GPT, PaLM 2, and Llama 2
Sendbird recognizes that every business is unique, as are its requirements for conversational AI. The Llama 2 2 integration, alongside GPT from OpenAI and PaLM 2 from Google, ensures businesses can choose an LLM that aligns perfectly with their AI chatbot use cases, preferences, and industry requirements.
Here’s a description of the various LLMs and why they are helpful:
- OpenAI, with its latest LLM engine GPT-4, is a high-performing option. It offers powerful functionalities such as fine-tuning and functions for data retrieval. Our SmartAssistant chatbot solution is leveraging this fantastic technology for support, e-commerce, marketing, and general assistance.
- PaLM 2 from Google is benchmarking lower than GPT-4 but is available in smaller sizes, allowing the model to run without an internet connection locally on a mobile device.
- Llama 2 is Facebook's open-source LLM with exceptional performance that meets human-level accuracy for a fraction of the cost of private LLMs. The open-source LLM comes by construct with flexibility and transparency benefits.
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.
