1. Microsoft introduces Phi-3 small language models, with its 7B version outperforming Llama 3 8B

  • Phi-3 3.8B available today, and the 7B and 14B versions expected soon.

  • Our view: open large and small language are competing head-to-head with closed ones, but still lag behind in multimodality.

    • Llama 3 400B may change this.

  • Join nearly 5 Million others on BetterHelp, the world's largest professional therapy platform done online.

  • Getting started is easy: take the quiz and get matched to a licensed therapist that fits your needs and preferences in as little as 48 hours. Then, schedule your first session via video, phone or live chat. 

  • The best part: no more driving to and from appointments or getting on a waitlist. Switch therapists or cancel anytime.
