Why are we writing articles on what the biggest megacorps are doing with the technology? Meta is one of the most braindead corporations I've ever seen, wasting billions and billions of dollars on failed tech after failed tech. Microsoft can't stop pushing their shitty Copilot, which isn't even on anybody's LLM radar. Anything Elon Musk leads consistently makes dumbass decisions that scare us all.
If anything, it just shows how stupid these megacorps are.
Copilot isn't an LLM, it's a tool to use LLMs and Generative AI. It's very useful when people with no understanding of a topic speak vehemently about it because they can be tagged and easily ignored on other topics too.
You know what they meant
Actually, the model itself is called Prometheus, but Microsoft has slapped their Copilot label on so many things that it's hard to know what they are talking about.
