Still, they could have used a more general term other than "llama". They had it coming imo.
Sometimes developers come up with creative and interesting names for their products, but other times they fail miserably.
- lolinder 3y agoThey being Meta or they being the developers of LlamaIndex? As noted in your sibling comment, LlamaIndex was public first.
- behnamoh 3y agothe latter. Meta’s naming made sense cuz it was an acronym. LlamaIndex sounds like a joke name and not well thought out for such an ambitious product.
- lolinder 3y agoMeta's naming is clearly also a joke. It's a backronym, not an acronym— it's pretty obvious they started with Llama and came up with a cute acronym to justify it. Large LAnguage Model Meta AI Not saying they're not entitled to use the name too, but laying the blame on the developers of LlamaIndex when they had no idea that LLaMA was coming isn't fair to them.
