Llama 2: Open Foundation and Fine-Tuned Chat Models

This episode unpacks the Llama 2 paper as more than a model announcement: it is a stack of base weights, chat tuning, RLHF, safety work, evaluation caveats, and release terms. Maya and Leo connect the paper to a practical on-device assistant team deciding how to use open weights responsibly.
