Meta is taking on OpenAI with its new Llama API, powered by a partnership with Cerebras. The collaboration promises significantly faster AI inference, boasting speeds reportedly 18 times greater than those achieved using conventional GPU-based systems. This leap in performance, exceeding 2,600 tokens per second, aims to position Llama API as a serious competitor in the burgeoning AI services landscape, directly challenging industry giants like OpenAI and Google. By harnessing Cerebras’ specialized AI hardware to optimize Meta’s Llama models, the API offers developers a powerful alternative for demanding AI applications requiring rapid processing.
