Why this model scores 47.6
Moderate general capability and little intrinsic agency are offset by lightweight operation, downloadable weights and broad distribution that make access extensive and centralized control difficult.
News tied to Llama 3 8B Base
The model score of 47.6 rates this model's risk profile. The overall Doom Index of 66.8 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.
