Welcome to the Llama-2 FOSAI & LLM Roundup Series!
(Summer 2023 Edition)
Hello everyone!
The wave of innovation I mentioned in our Llama-2 announcement is already on its way. The first tsunami of base models and configurations are being released as you read this post.
That being said, I'd like to take a moment to shoutout TheBloke, who is rapidly converting many of these models for the greater good of FOSS & FOSAI.
You can support TheBloke here.
Below you will find all of the latest Llama-2 models that are FOSAI friendly. This means they are commercially available, ready to use, and open for development. I will be continuing this series exclusively for Llama models. I have a feeling it will continue being a popular choice for quite some time. I will consider giving other foundational models a similar series if they garner enough support and consideration. For now, enjoy this new herd of Llamas!
All that you need to get started is capable hardware and a few moments setting up your inference platform (selected from any of your preferred software choices in the Lemmy Crash Course for Free Open-Source AI or FOSAI Nexus resource, which is also shared at the bottom of this post).
Keep reading to learn more about the exciting new models coming out of Llama-2!

Getting Started w/ FOSAI!
Have no idea where to begin with AI/LLMs? Try starting here with UnderstandGPT to learn the basics of LLMs before visiting our Lemmy Crash Course for Free Open-Source AI
If you're looking to explore more resources, see our FOSAI Nexus for a list of all the major FOSS/FOSAI in the space.
If you're looking to jump right in, visit some of the links below and stick to models that are <13B in parameter (unless you have the power and hardware to spare).
