Llama 2 vs. ChatGPT
The community has been excited about AI at Meta 's recent release of Llama 2. Unlike ChatGPT, Llama 2 is open-source, can run on a single desktop computer, and is available for free use in commercial applications.
Our team put both models to the test to see how they handled different inputs, and compare their technical performance. Check out the results.
