Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Brother Black fly's left hand clue delivery! CTOnews.com, July 19, Meta and Microsoft recently teamed up to launch Llama 2, the next generation of Meta's open source large language model that can be used for free for research and commercial purposes.

Microsoft said in a press release that Llama 2 is designed to help developers and organizations build generative artificial intelligence tools and experiences.

Azure customers can more easily and securely fine-tune and deploy the Llama 2 model with 7B, 13B, and 70B parameters on the Azure platform, and can be optimized to run locally in Windows.

The combination of Llama 2 model and Azure AI enables developers to use the powerful tools of Azure AI for model training, fine-tuning, reasoning, especially the ability to support AI security.

Microsoft says adding the Llama 2 model to Windows will help make Windows the best place for developers to build artificial intelligence experiences based on customer needs, and unleash their ability to build using world-class tools such as Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), Windows terminals, Microsoft Visual Studio and VS Code.
