Meta making its Llama 2 AI model freely available to commercial users might help it catch up with - or beat - OpenAI.
  • "Moat" is beloved term by tech to describe how a company can stop rivals taking their business.
  • In the fast-changing world of AI, OpenAI appeared to have created a powerful moat through ChatGPT.
  • But Meta rolling out its own powerful language model, Llama 2, with few restrictions puts ChatGPT at risk.

It seems fair to say that OpenAI has been king of the hill in generative AI ever since ChatGPT's launch. That might not be the case for much longer.
