On Friday, Meta released BlenderBot 3, a “state-of-the-art conversational agent that can converse naturally with people.” The 175B-parameter chatbot has model weights, code and datasets, and it can chat about nearly any topic.
The bot is “designed to improve its conversational skills and safety through feedback from people who chat with it, focusing on helpful feedback while avoiding learning from unhelpful or dangerous responses,” the company said before warning that the bot is “likely to make untrue or offensive statements.”
