Why this model scores 51.5
Instruction tuning increased practical capability and harmful usability, while small size, downloadable weights and many distribution channels produced exceptional reach and weak centralized control.
News tied to Llama 3 8B Instruct
The model score of 51.5 rates this model's risk profile. The overall Doom Index of 67.9 measures the complete temporally weighted evidence record. These values answer different questions.
Each article's current Doom Index contribution is divided equally among the exact models named on that article. This prevents multi-model evidence from being claimed in full on several model pages. Model risk scores use a bounded temporal offset around their technical profile, but never feed back into the overall index.
Meta releases Llama 3 8B and 70B base and instruction models
Meta released Llama 3 in 8-billion and 70-billion parameter base and instruction-tuned variants, with downloadable weights, broad planned cloud distribution and new Llama Guard 2, Code Shield and CyberSec Eval 2 safety tools.
