1 Other Models
There are quite a few other models under development and two of the most notable models recently made available to users in Ireland and Europe are Claude and Llama.
Claude works in a similar way to ChatGPT but has been developed by Anthropic. Claude is now available to Irish users on a free plan with daily usage limits.
Meta’s Llama is slightly different in that it has been made available as an open-source model, meaning that you can run it yourself. Open-source AI models often differ from open-source software though, and it is not possible to fully understand how the Llama model works, or modify it yourself, from this release.
Minaee et al. (2024) recently published a pre-print article ‘Large Language Models: A Survey’ which looks at the more prominent models and discusses their characteristics, contributions and limitations.[1]
