While Meta is accused of looting protected works to feed her AILlama 3.2 was installed on an isolated system without internet connection. The model can therefore strengthen its safety and reduce latency by deleting the need to transmit data via servers on earth.
What are the objectives of Space Llama on the ISS?
Space Llama brings together several advanced technologies: the A2E2 frame (IA for peripheral environments) from Booz Allen, the SpaceBorne Computer-2 SpaceBorne Computer of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Acce been accelerated NVIDIA (Cuda, Cudnn and Cublas) and artificial vision functionalities of Meta.
This device is based on a compact and economical energy system, such as those used in satellites. The configuration makes it possible to drastically reduce treatment times by going from several minutes to just more than a second for certain tasks.
Space Llama incorporates generative and multimodal AI capacities to produce text or images from requests and process several types of data: text, visuals and audio. Researchers will be able to access essential technical documents, without internet connection.
The deployment follows the demonstration by Booz Allen, last August, of a generative language model (LLM) on the ISS which used the computer spaceborne computer-2 of HPE. Meta, in November 2024, also announced that its optimized Llama models would be made available to government and private private partners.
According to Bill Vass, technical director of Booz Allen, “Space Llama brings tools directly to the borders of space to quickly make critical repairs and maintain the national laboratory of the ISS, proposing us to a future of space science and discovery.”
Experience will help future lunar and Martian missions and to the deployment of autonomous systems in isolated environments on earth.
