We apologize to the authors of MiniCPM [the AI model developed by a Chinese company] for any inconvenience that we caused for not doing the full diligence to verify and peer review the novelty of this work, the multimodal AI model Llama3-V’s developers wrote in a post on social platform X.
The apology came after the team from Stanford University World Timesannounced Llama3-V on May 29, claiming it had comparable performance to GPT4-V and other models with the capability to train for less than $500.
According to media reports, the announcement published by one of the team members quickly received more than 300,000 views.
However, some netizens from X found and listed evidence of how the Llama3-V project code was reformatted and similar to MiniCPM-Llama3-V 2.5, an LLM developed by a Chinese technology company, ModelBest, and Tsinghua University.
Two team members, Aksh Garg and Siddharth Sharma, reposted a netizen’s query and apologized on Monday, while claiming that their role was to promote the model on Medium and X (formerly Twitter), and that they had been unable to contact the member who wrote the code for the project.
