We are talking about large language models that are becoming more and more popular. meta choice* makes sense, especially given the hype that has been building in recent months around the chatbot ChatGPT, which is based on Open AI’s GPT-4 model. Note that meta* has its own language model called LLaMA, but unlike GPT-4, it is not intended for use in the consumer market.
