Good morning. There's a new player on the LLM scene. Meta just dropped Llama 2, and it comes with better language generation, more layers of safety, a broad set of partners – and a commercial license. According to Meta’s announcement, Llama 2 was pretrained on “publicly available online data sources,” 2 trillion tokens, and has double the context length of Llama 1.

Connecting the dots of digital life
Anytype is a new, locally encrypted productivity and knowledge management tool for people who value security, autonomy, and creativity in their workflows.
Users can create aesthetic dashboards, projects, and knowledge graphs using a familiar block-based, no-code editor.
Born from The Any Association in Switzerland, Anytype is founded on open-source, local-first, and peer-to-peer principles.
📖 Open-source: Anytype's open-source nature empowers users to verify the principles that form its foundation, building trust between users and developers. Every software component is accessible for personal analysis and use, giving users autonomy and continuity without the need for third parties.
🏠 Local-first: Unlike cloud apps such as Google Docs, Anytype operates on a 'local-first' principle. This means your data is always yours, mitigating the risks of central server failures or hacks. Collaboration and ownership are no longer mutually exclusive - and everything you create is available offline.
🧑🤝🧑 Peer-to-peer: Through Anytype's peer-to-peer framework, users can share resources directly, bypassing a central authority. This not only boosts autonomy but also offers cost savings and improved resilience.
“We believe that any software should support fundamental digital freedoms,” says Anytype’s maker Anton Pronkin. “With the rise of cryptography, it's now possible to guarantee privacy of thoughts, freedom of speech, right to authorship, and autonomy from software providers.”
