Llama 3.1 and the AI Bubble

This week on Intersection Unplugged, we dive into Meta's latest AI model, Llama 3.1, which boasts 405 billion parameters, making it the largest open-weight AI model available. We analyze Meta's strategic choice of open weights versus closed-source models and explore the implications for AI democratization, advertising, and developer freedom. Additionally, we discuss the broader AI market dynamics and the potential bubble concerns, comparing the current AI landscape to historical tech adoption curves.
