Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuilt with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world\u2019s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free\u201d,<\/em> the company stated in a <\/a>blog post. The company has currently rolled out Meta AI in 13 countries outside of the USA including Australia, South Africa, Uganda, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the highlighted features of Meta AI is its \u201cImagine Feature\u201d, a real-time image generator. This feature will automatically create images as soon as a user starts typing.

\u201cBuilt with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world\u2019s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free\u201d,<\/em> the company stated in a <\/a>blog post. The company has currently rolled out Meta AI in 13 countries outside of the USA including Australia, South Africa, Uganda, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently unveiled its next generation of large language models (LLM) called Llama 3.

\u201cBuilt with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world\u2019s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free\u201d,<\/em> the company stated in a <\/a>blog post. The company has currently rolled out Meta AI in 13 countries outside of the USA including Australia, South Africa, Uganda, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is already available on Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. Additionally, Meta AI is accessible on computers via meta.ai<\/a> (the website). Users can also utilize the assistant in their Facebook feed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the highlighted features of Meta AI is its \u201cImagine Feature\u201d, a real-time image generator. This feature will automatically create images as soon as a user starts typing. And it will change the image after every few letters. It can also create animations from any given picture.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently unveiled its next generation of large language models (LLM) called Llama 3.

It is important to note that unlike Gemini or Chat GPT, all of the Llama models are open source.

Meta Inc., the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp, has recently unveiled a new virtual AI assistant. Aptly titled Meta AI, the company claims its model is the \u201cmost intelligent AI assistant you can use for free\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuilt with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world\u2019s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free\u201d,<\/em> the company stated in a <\/a>blog post. The company has currently rolled out Meta AI in 13 countries outside of the USA including Australia, South Africa, Uganda, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the highlighted features of Meta AI is its \u201cImagine Feature\u201d, a real-time image generator. This feature will automatically create images as soon as a user starts typing.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently unveiled its next generation of large language models (LLM) called Llama 3.

Meta Inc., the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp, has recently unveiled a new virtual AI assistant. Aptly titled Meta AI, the company claims its model is the \u201cmost intelligent AI assistant you can use for free\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuilt with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world\u2019s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free\u201d,<\/em> the company stated in a <\/a>blog post. The company has currently rolled out Meta AI in 13 countries outside of the USA including Australia, South Africa, Uganda, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is already available on Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. Additionally, Meta AI is accessible on computers via meta.ai<\/a> (the website). Users can also utilize the assistant in their Facebook feed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the highlighted features of Meta AI is its \u201cImagine Feature\u201d, a real-time image generator. This feature will automatically create images as soon as a user starts typing. And it will change the image after every few letters. It can also create animations from any given picture. This feature is currently available in its beta version and only on WhatsApp and the Meta AI website in the US.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Facebook Has A New Virtual Assistant: Meet Meta AI","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"facebook-has-a-new-virtual-assistant-meet-meta-ai","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2024\/04\/meta-ai-assistant-built-with-llama-3\/","post_modified":"2024-05-04 02:29:27","post_modified_gmt":"2024-05-03 16:29:27","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16687","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16553,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:42:20","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:20","post_content":"\n

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently unveiled its next generation of large language models (LLM) called Llama 3. Meta claims\u00a0that Llama\u00a03 is the \u201cmost capable openly available LLM to date\u201d <\/em>as the company raises its efforts to catch up to competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re excited to share the first two models of the next generation of Llama, Meta Llama 3, available for broad use\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company states in a blog post<\/a>. The two models come with 8B and 70B parameters. The blog also provides a chart showcasing Llama 3\u2019s improved performance compared to its previous iterations as well as other chat bots such as Google\u2019s Gemini and Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that unlike Gemini or Chat GPT, all of the Llama models are open source.

Meta Inc., the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp, has recently unveiled a new virtual AI assistant. Aptly titled Meta AI, the company claims its model is the \u201cmost intelligent AI assistant you can use for free\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuilt with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world\u2019s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free\u201d,<\/em> the company stated in a <\/a>blog post. The company has currently rolled out Meta AI in 13 countries outside of the USA including Australia, South Africa, Uganda, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently unveiled its next generation of large language models (LLM) called Llama 3. Meta claims\u00a0that Llama\u00a03 is the \u201cmost capable openly available LLM to date\u201d <\/em>as the company raises its efforts to catch up to competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re excited to share the first two models of the next generation of Llama, Meta Llama 3, available for broad use\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company states in a blog post<\/a>. The two models come with 8B and 70B parameters. The blog also provides a chart showcasing Llama 3\u2019s improved performance compared to its previous iterations as well as other chat bots such as Google\u2019s Gemini and Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that unlike Gemini or Chat GPT, all of the Llama models are open source. The company states that this is deliberate as it hopes to create \u201cthe best open models that are on par with the best proprietary models available today\u201d. This could potentially aid Meta\u2019s AI models to gain an advantage over its competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cOur goal in the near future is to make Llama 3 multilingual and multimodal, have longer context, and continue to improve overall performance across core LLM capabilities such as reasoning and coding\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People can already test out the capabilities of Llama 3 by using Meta AI, a custom virtual AI assistant. Meta AI was built with the Llama 3 technology and it is already available on FaceBook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and the web. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Meet Meta\u2019s Llama 3: Claimed To Be The Most Capable LLM Available","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meet-metas-llama-3-claimed-to-be-the-most-capable-llm-available","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:42:52","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16553","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

Meta Inc., the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp, has recently unveiled a new virtual AI assistant. Aptly titled Meta AI, the company claims its model is the \u201cmost intelligent AI assistant you can use for free\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuilt with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world\u2019s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free\u201d,<\/em> the company stated in a <\/a>blog post. The company has currently rolled out Meta AI in 13 countries outside of the USA including Australia, South Africa, Uganda, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is already available on Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. Additionally, Meta AI is accessible on computers via meta.ai<\/a> (the website). Users can also utilize the assistant in their Facebook feed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the highlighted features of Meta AI is its \u201cImagine Feature\u201d, a real-time image generator. This feature will automatically create images as soon as a user starts typing. And it will change the image after every few letters. It can also create animations from any given picture. This feature is currently available in its beta version and only on WhatsApp and the Meta AI website in the US.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Facebook Has A New Virtual Assistant: Meet Meta AI","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"facebook-has-a-new-virtual-assistant-meet-meta-ai","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2024\/04\/meta-ai-assistant-built-with-llama-3\/","post_modified":"2024-05-04 02:29:27","post_modified_gmt":"2024-05-03 16:29:27","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16687","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16553,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:42:20","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:20","post_content":"\n

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently unveiled its next generation of large language models (LLM) called Llama 3. Meta claims\u00a0that Llama\u00a03 is the \u201cmost capable openly available LLM to date\u201d <\/em>as the company raises its efforts to catch up to competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re excited to share the first two models of the next generation of Llama, Meta Llama 3, available for broad use\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company states in a blog post<\/a>. The two models come with 8B and 70B parameters. The blog also provides a chart showcasing Llama 3\u2019s improved performance compared to its previous iterations as well as other chat bots such as Google\u2019s Gemini and Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See Related: Meta Introduces Advanced AI Chatbots To All Its Apps, Revolutionizing User Interactions<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that unlike Gemini or Chat GPT, all of the Llama models are open source. The company states that this is deliberate as it hopes to create \u201cthe best open models that are on par with the best proprietary models available today\u201d. This could potentially aid Meta\u2019s AI models to gain an advantage over its competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cOur goal in the near future is to make Llama 3 multilingual and multimodal, have longer context, and continue to improve overall performance across core LLM capabilities such as reasoning and coding\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People can already test out the capabilities of Llama 3 by using Meta AI, a custom virtual AI assistant. Meta AI was built with the Llama 3 technology and it is already available on FaceBook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and the web. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Meet Meta\u2019s Llama 3: Claimed To Be The Most Capable LLM Available","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meet-metas-llama-3-claimed-to-be-the-most-capable-llm-available","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:42:52","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16553","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently unveiled its next generation of large language models (LLM) called Llama 3. Meta claims\u00a0that Llama\u00a03 is the \u201cmost capable openly available LLM to date\u201d <\/em>as the company raises its efforts to catch up to competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re excited to share the first two models of the next generation of Llama, Meta Llama 3, available for broad use\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company states in a blog post<\/a>. The two models come with 8B and 70B parameters. The blog also provides a chart showcasing Llama 3\u2019s improved performance compared to its previous iterations as well as other chat bots such as Google\u2019s Gemini and Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that unlike Gemini or Chat GPT, all of the Llama models are open source. The company states that this is deliberate as it hopes to create \u201cthe best open models that are on par with the best proprietary models available today\u201d. This could potentially aid Meta\u2019s AI models to gain an advantage over its competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cOur goal in the near future is to make Llama 3 multilingual and multimodal, have longer context, and continue to improve overall performance across core LLM capabilities such as reasoning and coding\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People can already test out the capabilities of Llama 3 by using Meta AI, a custom virtual AI assistant. Meta AI was built with the Llama 3 technology and it is already available on FaceBook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and the web. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Meet Meta\u2019s Llama 3: Claimed To Be The Most Capable LLM Available","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meet-metas-llama-3-claimed-to-be-the-most-capable-llm-available","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:42:52","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16553","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

Meta Inc., the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp, has recently unveiled a new virtual AI assistant. Aptly titled Meta AI, the company claims its model is the \u201cmost intelligent AI assistant you can use for free\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuilt with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world\u2019s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free\u201d,<\/em> the company stated in a <\/a>blog post. The company has currently rolled out Meta AI in 13 countries outside of the USA including Australia, South Africa, Uganda, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta Inc., the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp, has recently unveiled a new virtual AI assistant. Aptly titled Meta AI, the company claims its model is the \u201cmost intelligent AI assistant you can use for free\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuilt with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world\u2019s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free\u201d,<\/em> the company stated in a <\/a>blog post. The company has currently rolled out Meta AI in 13 countries outside of the USA including Australia, South Africa, Uganda, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently unveiled its next generation of large language models (LLM) called Llama 3. Meta claims\u00a0that Llama\u00a03 is the \u201cmost capable openly available LLM to date\u201d <\/em>as the company raises its efforts to catch up to competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re excited to share the first two models of the next generation of Llama, Meta Llama 3, available for broad use\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company states in a blog post<\/a>. The two models come with 8B and 70B parameters. The blog also provides a chart showcasing Llama 3\u2019s improved performance compared to its previous iterations as well as other chat bots such as Google\u2019s Gemini and Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that unlike Gemini or Chat GPT, all of the Llama models are open source. The company states that this is deliberate as it hopes to create \u201cthe best open models that are on par with the best proprietary models available today\u201d. This could potentially aid Meta\u2019s AI models to gain an advantage over its competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cOur goal in the near future is to make Llama 3 multilingual and multimodal, have longer context, and continue to improve overall performance across core LLM capabilities such as reasoning and coding\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People can already test out the capabilities of Llama 3 by using Meta AI, a custom virtual AI assistant. Meta AI was built with the Llama 3 technology and it is already available on FaceBook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and the web. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Meet Meta\u2019s Llama 3: Claimed To Be The Most Capable LLM Available","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meet-metas-llama-3-claimed-to-be-the-most-capable-llm-available","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:42:52","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16553","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

Google\u2019s AI overview feature has come under criticism from users over the past couple of weeks. In response, the American tech giant came out with a statement addressing the issues and assured that the company has \u201cmade more than a dozen technical improvements\u201d to the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the recently concluded Google I\/O, the company announced that they will make the AI Overview feature available to every person in the US. This feature provides AI-generated answers to any inquiry made by the user. The purpose of AI Overview was to enhance user experience and provide better search results.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, users have reported multiple<\/a> misleading or outright incorrect responses generated by the AI. Many people have posted these bizarre search results on X (formerly Twitter). This has predictably led to scrutiny about the quality of Google\u2019s products. Experts have also questioned Google\u2019s ability to keep pace with its competitors in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google responded via a blog release,<\/a> saying, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cIn the last week, people on social media have shared some odd and erroneous overviews. We hold ourselves to a high standard, as do our users, so we expect and appreciate the feedback, and take it seriously. Given the attention AI Overviews received, we wanted to explain what happened and the steps we\u2019ve taken.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The post goes on to elaborate on some of the corrections it has made. These include better detection mechanisms for nonsensical queries, limiting the use of user-generated content, and restricting queries that were not helpful.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Improves AI Overviews In Light Of Recent Controversy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-improves-ai-overviews-in-light-of-recent-controversy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-10 20:05:33","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-10 10:05:33","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17252","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":17141,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-06-02 21:45:58","post_date_gmt":"2024-06-02 11:45:58","post_content":"\n

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently unveiled its next generation of large language models (LLM) called Llama 3. Meta claims\u00a0that Llama\u00a03 is the \u201cmost capable openly available LLM to date\u201d <\/em>as the company raises its efforts to catch up to competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re excited to share the first two models of the next generation of Llama, Meta Llama 3, available for broad use\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company states in a blog post<\/a>. The two models come with 8B and 70B parameters. The blog also provides a chart showcasing Llama 3\u2019s improved performance compared to its previous iterations as well as other chat bots such as Google\u2019s Gemini and Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s AI overview feature has come under criticism from users over the past couple of weeks. In response, the American tech giant came out with a statement addressing the issues and assured that the company has \u201cmade more than a dozen technical improvements\u201d to the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the recently concluded Google I\/O, the company announced that they will make the AI Overview feature available to every person in the US. This feature provides AI-generated answers to any inquiry made by the user. The purpose of AI Overview was to enhance user experience and provide better search results.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, users have reported multiple<\/a> misleading or outright incorrect responses generated by the AI. Many people have posted these bizarre search results on X (formerly Twitter). This has predictably led to scrutiny about the quality of Google\u2019s products. Experts have also questioned Google\u2019s ability to keep pace with its competitors in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta Inc., the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp, has recently unveiled a new virtual AI assistant. Aptly titled Meta AI, the company claims its model is the \u201cmost intelligent AI assistant you can use for free\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuilt with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world\u2019s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free\u201d,<\/em> the company stated in a <\/a>blog post. The company has currently rolled out Meta AI in 13 countries outside of the USA including Australia, South Africa, Uganda, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is already available on Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. Additionally, Meta AI is accessible on computers via meta.ai<\/a> (the website). Users can also utilize the assistant in their Facebook feed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the highlighted features of Meta AI is its \u201cImagine Feature\u201d, a real-time image generator. This feature will automatically create images as soon as a user starts typing. And it will change the image after every few letters. It can also create animations from any given picture. This feature is currently available in its beta version and only on WhatsApp and the Meta AI website in the US.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Facebook Has A New Virtual Assistant: Meet Meta AI","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"facebook-has-a-new-virtual-assistant-meet-meta-ai","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2024\/04\/meta-ai-assistant-built-with-llama-3\/","post_modified":"2024-05-04 02:29:27","post_modified_gmt":"2024-05-03 16:29:27","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16687","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16553,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:42:20","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:20","post_content":"\n

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently unveiled its next generation of large language models (LLM) called Llama 3. Meta claims\u00a0that Llama\u00a03 is the \u201cmost capable openly available LLM to date\u201d <\/em>as the company raises its efforts to catch up to competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re excited to share the first two models of the next generation of Llama, Meta Llama 3, available for broad use\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company states in a blog post<\/a>. The two models come with 8B and 70B parameters. The blog also provides a chart showcasing Llama 3\u2019s improved performance compared to its previous iterations as well as other chat bots such as Google\u2019s Gemini and Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See Related: Meta Introduces Advanced AI Chatbots To All Its Apps, Revolutionizing User Interactions<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that unlike Gemini or Chat GPT, all of the Llama models are open source. The company states that this is deliberate as it hopes to create \u201cthe best open models that are on par with the best proprietary models available today\u201d. This could potentially aid Meta\u2019s AI models to gain an advantage over its competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cOur goal in the near future is to make Llama 3 multilingual and multimodal, have longer context, and continue to improve overall performance across core LLM capabilities such as reasoning and coding\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People can already test out the capabilities of Llama 3 by using Meta AI, a custom virtual AI assistant. Meta AI was built with the Llama 3 technology and it is already available on FaceBook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and the web. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Meet Meta\u2019s Llama 3: Claimed To Be The Most Capable LLM Available","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meet-metas-llama-3-claimed-to-be-the-most-capable-llm-available","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:42:52","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16553","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

Google\u2019s AI overview feature has come under criticism from users over the past couple of weeks. In response, the American tech giant came out with a statement addressing the issues and assured that the company has \u201cmade more than a dozen technical improvements\u201d to the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the recently concluded Google I\/O, the company announced that they will make the AI Overview feature available to every person in the US.

Meta Inc., the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp, has recently unveiled a new virtual AI assistant. Aptly titled Meta AI, the company claims its model is the \u201cmost intelligent AI assistant you can use for free\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuilt with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world\u2019s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free\u201d,<\/em> the company stated in a <\/a>blog post. The company has currently rolled out Meta AI in 13 countries outside of the USA including Australia, South Africa, Uganda, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See Related: <\/em><\/strong>Meta Introduces Advanced AI Chatbots To All Its Apps, Revolutionizing User Interactions<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is already available on Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. Additionally, Meta AI is accessible on computers via meta.ai<\/a> (the website). Users can also utilize the assistant in their Facebook feed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the highlighted features of Meta AI is its \u201cImagine Feature\u201d, a real-time image generator. This feature will automatically create images as soon as a user starts typing. And it will change the image after every few letters. It can also create animations from any given picture. This feature is currently available in its beta version and only on WhatsApp and the Meta AI website in the US.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Facebook Has A New Virtual Assistant: Meet Meta AI","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"facebook-has-a-new-virtual-assistant-meet-meta-ai","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2024\/04\/meta-ai-assistant-built-with-llama-3\/","post_modified":"2024-05-04 02:29:27","post_modified_gmt":"2024-05-03 16:29:27","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16687","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16553,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:42:20","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:20","post_content":"\n

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently unveiled its next generation of large language models (LLM) called Llama 3. Meta claims\u00a0that Llama\u00a03 is the \u201cmost capable openly available LLM to date\u201d <\/em>as the company raises its efforts to catch up to competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re excited to share the first two models of the next generation of Llama, Meta Llama 3, available for broad use\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company states in a blog post<\/a>. The two models come with 8B and 70B parameters. The blog also provides a chart showcasing Llama 3\u2019s improved performance compared to its previous iterations as well as other chat bots such as Google\u2019s Gemini and Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that unlike Gemini or Chat GPT, all of the Llama models are open source. The company states that this is deliberate as it hopes to create \u201cthe best open models that are on par with the best proprietary models available today\u201d. This could potentially aid Meta\u2019s AI models to gain an advantage over its competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cOur goal in the near future is to make Llama 3 multilingual and multimodal, have longer context, and continue to improve overall performance across core LLM capabilities such as reasoning and coding\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People can already test out the capabilities of Llama 3 by using Meta AI, a custom virtual AI assistant. Meta AI was built with the Llama 3 technology and it is already available on FaceBook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and the web. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Meet Meta\u2019s Llama 3: Claimed To Be The Most Capable LLM Available","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meet-metas-llama-3-claimed-to-be-the-most-capable-llm-available","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:42:52","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16553","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

Google\u2019s AI overview feature has come under criticism from users over the past couple of weeks. In response, the American tech giant came out with a statement addressing the issues and assured that the company has \u201cmade more than a dozen technical improvements\u201d to the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the recently concluded Google I\/O, the company announced that they will make the AI Overview feature available to every person in the US.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently unveiled its next generation of large language models (LLM) called Llama 3. Meta claims\u00a0that Llama\u00a03 is the \u201cmost capable openly available LLM to date\u201d <\/em>as the company raises its efforts to catch up to competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re excited to share the first two models of the next generation of Llama, Meta Llama 3, available for broad use\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company states in a blog post<\/a>. The two models come with 8B and 70B parameters. The blog also provides a chart showcasing Llama 3\u2019s improved performance compared to its previous iterations as well as other chat bots such as Google\u2019s Gemini and Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s AI overview feature has come under criticism from users over the past couple of weeks. In response, the American tech giant came out with a statement addressing the issues and assured that the company has \u201cmade more than a dozen technical improvements\u201d to the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the recently concluded Google I\/O, the company announced that they will make the AI Overview feature available to every person in the US. This feature provides AI-generated answers to any inquiry made by the user. The purpose of AI Overview was to enhance user experience and provide better search results.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, users have reported multiple<\/a> misleading or outright incorrect responses generated by the AI. Many people have posted these bizarre search results on X (formerly Twitter). This has predictably led to scrutiny about the quality of Google\u2019s products. Experts have also questioned Google\u2019s ability to keep pace with its competitors in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google responded via a blog release,<\/a> saying, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cIn the last week, people on social media have shared some odd and erroneous overviews.

Google\u2019s AI overview feature has come under criticism from users over the past couple of weeks. In response, the American tech giant came out with a statement addressing the issues and assured that the company has \u201cmade more than a dozen technical improvements\u201d to the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the recently concluded Google I\/O, the company announced that they will make the AI Overview feature available to every person in the US. This feature provides AI-generated answers to any inquiry made by the user. The purpose of AI Overview was to enhance user experience and provide better search results.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, users have reported multiple<\/a> misleading or outright incorrect responses generated by the AI. Many people have posted these bizarre search results on X (formerly Twitter). This has predictably led to scrutiny about the quality of Google\u2019s products. Experts have also questioned Google\u2019s ability to keep pace with its competitors in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google responded via a blog release,<\/a> saying, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cIn the last week, people on social media have shared some odd and erroneous overviews.

Meta Inc., the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp, has recently unveiled a new virtual AI assistant. Aptly titled Meta AI, the company claims its model is the \u201cmost intelligent AI assistant you can use for free\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuilt with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world\u2019s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free\u201d,<\/em> the company stated in a <\/a>blog post. The company has currently rolled out Meta AI in 13 countries outside of the USA including Australia, South Africa, Uganda, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is already available on Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. Additionally, Meta AI is accessible on computers via meta.ai<\/a> (the website). Users can also utilize the assistant in their Facebook feed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the highlighted features of Meta AI is its \u201cImagine Feature\u201d, a real-time image generator. This feature will automatically create images as soon as a user starts typing. And it will change the image after every few letters. It can also create animations from any given picture. This feature is currently available in its beta version and only on WhatsApp and the Meta AI website in the US.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Facebook Has A New Virtual Assistant: Meet Meta AI","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"facebook-has-a-new-virtual-assistant-meet-meta-ai","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2024\/04\/meta-ai-assistant-built-with-llama-3\/","post_modified":"2024-05-04 02:29:27","post_modified_gmt":"2024-05-03 16:29:27","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16687","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16553,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:42:20","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:20","post_content":"\n

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently unveiled its next generation of large language models (LLM) called Llama 3. Meta claims\u00a0that Llama\u00a03 is the \u201cmost capable openly available LLM to date\u201d <\/em>as the company raises its efforts to catch up to competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re excited to share the first two models of the next generation of Llama, Meta Llama 3, available for broad use\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company states in a blog post<\/a>. The two models come with 8B and 70B parameters. The blog also provides a chart showcasing Llama 3\u2019s improved performance compared to its previous iterations as well as other chat bots such as Google\u2019s Gemini and Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See Related: Meta Introduces Advanced AI Chatbots To All Its Apps, Revolutionizing User Interactions<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that unlike Gemini or Chat GPT, all of the Llama models are open source. The company states that this is deliberate as it hopes to create \u201cthe best open models that are on par with the best proprietary models available today\u201d. This could potentially aid Meta\u2019s AI models to gain an advantage over its competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cOur goal in the near future is to make Llama 3 multilingual and multimodal, have longer context, and continue to improve overall performance across core LLM capabilities such as reasoning and coding\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People can already test out the capabilities of Llama 3 by using Meta AI, a custom virtual AI assistant. Meta AI was built with the Llama 3 technology and it is already available on FaceBook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and the web. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Meet Meta\u2019s Llama 3: Claimed To Be The Most Capable LLM Available","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meet-metas-llama-3-claimed-to-be-the-most-capable-llm-available","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:42:52","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16553","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

Meta Inc., the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp, has recently unveiled a new virtual AI assistant. Aptly titled Meta AI, the company claims its model is the \u201cmost intelligent AI assistant you can use for free\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuilt with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world\u2019s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free\u201d,<\/em> the company stated in a <\/a>blog post. The company has currently rolled out Meta AI in 13 countries outside of the USA including Australia, South Africa, Uganda, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is already available on Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. Additionally, Meta AI is accessible on computers via meta.ai<\/a> (the website). Users can also utilize the assistant in their Facebook feed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the highlighted features of Meta AI is its \u201cImagine Feature\u201d, a real-time image generator. This feature will automatically create images as soon as a user starts typing. And it will change the image after every few letters. It can also create animations from any given picture. This feature is currently available in its beta version and only on WhatsApp and the Meta AI website in the US.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Facebook Has A New Virtual Assistant: Meet Meta AI","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"facebook-has-a-new-virtual-assistant-meet-meta-ai","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2024\/04\/meta-ai-assistant-built-with-llama-3\/","post_modified":"2024-05-04 02:29:27","post_modified_gmt":"2024-05-03 16:29:27","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16687","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16553,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:42:20","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:20","post_content":"\n

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently unveiled its next generation of large language models (LLM) called Llama 3. Meta claims\u00a0that Llama\u00a03 is the \u201cmost capable openly available LLM to date\u201d <\/em>as the company raises its efforts to catch up to competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re excited to share the first two models of the next generation of Llama, Meta Llama 3, available for broad use\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company states in a blog post<\/a>. The two models come with 8B and 70B parameters. The blog also provides a chart showcasing Llama 3\u2019s improved performance compared to its previous iterations as well as other chat bots such as Google\u2019s Gemini and Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See Related: Meta Introduces Advanced AI Chatbots To All Its Apps, Revolutionizing User Interactions<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that unlike Gemini or Chat GPT, all of the Llama models are open source. The company states that this is deliberate as it hopes to create \u201cthe best open models that are on par with the best proprietary models available today\u201d. This could potentially aid Meta\u2019s AI models to gain an advantage over its competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cOur goal in the near future is to make Llama 3 multilingual and multimodal, have longer context, and continue to improve overall performance across core LLM capabilities such as reasoning and coding\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People can already test out the capabilities of Llama 3 by using Meta AI, a custom virtual AI assistant. Meta AI was built with the Llama 3 technology and it is already available on FaceBook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and the web. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Meet Meta\u2019s Llama 3: Claimed To Be The Most Capable LLM Available","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meet-metas-llama-3-claimed-to-be-the-most-capable-llm-available","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:42:52","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16553","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

Meta Inc., the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp, has recently unveiled a new virtual AI assistant. Aptly titled Meta AI, the company claims its model is the \u201cmost intelligent AI assistant you can use for free\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuilt with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world\u2019s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free\u201d,<\/em> the company stated in a <\/a>blog post. The company has currently rolled out Meta AI in 13 countries outside of the USA including Australia, South Africa, Uganda, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is already available on Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. Additionally, Meta AI is accessible on computers via meta.ai<\/a> (the website). Users can also utilize the assistant in their Facebook feed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the highlighted features of Meta AI is its \u201cImagine Feature\u201d, a real-time image generator. This feature will automatically create images as soon as a user starts typing. And it will change the image after every few letters. It can also create animations from any given picture. This feature is currently available in its beta version and only on WhatsApp and the Meta AI website in the US.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Facebook Has A New Virtual Assistant: Meet Meta AI","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"facebook-has-a-new-virtual-assistant-meet-meta-ai","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2024\/04\/meta-ai-assistant-built-with-llama-3\/","post_modified":"2024-05-04 02:29:27","post_modified_gmt":"2024-05-03 16:29:27","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16687","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16553,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:42:20","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:20","post_content":"\n

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently unveiled its next generation of large language models (LLM) called Llama 3. Meta claims\u00a0that Llama\u00a03 is the \u201cmost capable openly available LLM to date\u201d <\/em>as the company raises its efforts to catch up to competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re excited to share the first two models of the next generation of Llama, Meta Llama 3, available for broad use\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company states in a blog post<\/a>. The two models come with 8B and 70B parameters. The blog also provides a chart showcasing Llama 3\u2019s improved performance compared to its previous iterations as well as other chat bots such as Google\u2019s Gemini and Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See Related: Meta Introduces Advanced AI Chatbots To All Its Apps, Revolutionizing User Interactions<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that unlike Gemini or Chat GPT, all of the Llama models are open source. The company states that this is deliberate as it hopes to create \u201cthe best open models that are on par with the best proprietary models available today\u201d. This could potentially aid Meta\u2019s AI models to gain an advantage over its competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cOur goal in the near future is to make Llama 3 multilingual and multimodal, have longer context, and continue to improve overall performance across core LLM capabilities such as reasoning and coding\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People can already test out the capabilities of Llama 3 by using Meta AI, a custom virtual AI assistant. Meta AI was built with the Llama 3 technology and it is already available on FaceBook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and the web. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Meet Meta\u2019s Llama 3: Claimed To Be The Most Capable LLM Available","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meet-metas-llama-3-claimed-to-be-the-most-capable-llm-available","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:42:52","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16553","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

Meta Inc., the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp, has recently unveiled a new virtual AI assistant. Aptly titled Meta AI, the company claims its model is the \u201cmost intelligent AI assistant you can use for free\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuilt with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world\u2019s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free\u201d,<\/em> the company stated in a <\/a>blog post. The company has currently rolled out Meta AI in 13 countries outside of the USA including Australia, South Africa, Uganda, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently unveiled its next generation of large language models (LLM) called Llama 3. Meta claims\u00a0that Llama\u00a03 is the \u201cmost capable openly available LLM to date\u201d <\/em>as the company raises its efforts to catch up to competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re excited to share the first two models of the next generation of Llama, Meta Llama 3, available for broad use\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company states in a blog post<\/a>. The two models come with 8B and 70B parameters. The blog also provides a chart showcasing Llama 3\u2019s improved performance compared to its previous iterations as well as other chat bots such as Google\u2019s Gemini and Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that unlike Gemini or Chat GPT, all of the Llama models are open source. The company states that this is deliberate as it hopes to create \u201cthe best open models that are on par with the best proprietary models available today\u201d. This could potentially aid Meta\u2019s AI models to gain an advantage over its competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cOur goal in the near future is to make Llama 3 multilingual and multimodal, have longer context, and continue to improve overall performance across core LLM capabilities such as reasoning and coding\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People can already test out the capabilities of Llama 3 by using Meta AI, a custom virtual AI assistant. Meta AI was built with the Llama 3 technology and it is already available on FaceBook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and the web. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Meet Meta\u2019s Llama 3: Claimed To Be The Most Capable LLM Available","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meet-metas-llama-3-claimed-to-be-the-most-capable-llm-available","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:42:52","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16553","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

Meta claims\u00a0that Llama\u00a03 is the \u201cmost capable openly available LLM to date\u201d <\/em>as the company raises its efforts to catch up to competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re excited to share the first two models of the next generation of Llama, Meta Llama 3, available for broad use\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company states in a blog post<\/a>. The two models come with 8B and 70B parameters. The blog also provides a chart showcasing Llama 3\u2019s improved performance compared to its previous iterations as well as other chat bots such as Google\u2019s Gemini and Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that unlike Gemini or Chat GPT, all of the Llama models are open source. The company states that this is deliberate as it hopes to create \u201cthe best open models that are on par with the best proprietary models available today\u201d. This could potentially aid Meta\u2019s AI models to gain an advantage over its competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cOur goal in the near future is to make Llama 3 multilingual and multimodal, have longer context, and continue to improve overall performance across core LLM capabilities such as reasoning and coding\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People can already test out the capabilities of Llama 3 by using Meta AI, a custom virtual AI assistant. Meta AI was built with the Llama 3 technology and it is already available on FaceBook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and the web. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Meet Meta\u2019s Llama 3: Claimed To Be The Most Capable LLM Available","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meet-metas-llama-3-claimed-to-be-the-most-capable-llm-available","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:42:52","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16553","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

\u201cMastercard, a world leader in cyber security, is now better able to predict the full card detail of these compromised cards on its network, enabling banks to block them far faster than previously.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company revealed on its official website<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will use AI to scan \u201ctransaction data across billions of cards and millions of merchants\u201d. The AI will then alert banks and regulators when a card is suspected to be compromised. Using AI will allow them to predict the complete details of compromised cards, which enables banks to promptly remove these cards from their network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company hopes that generative AI will better protect future transactions from emerging threats. Some of the initiatives include doubling the detection rate of compromised cards, reducing false positives during the detection of fraudulent transactions, and identifying at-risk merchants more rapidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThanks to our world-leading cyber technology we can now piece together the jigsaw \u2013 enhancing trust to banks, their customers, and the digital ecosystem as a whole,\u201d<\/em><\/strong> said Johan Gerber, Executive Vice President of Security & Cyber Innovation at MasterCard.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Mastercard To Use Generative AI For Card Fraud Detection","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mastercard-to-use-generative-ai-for-card-fraud-detection","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-07-15 03:02:54","post_modified_gmt":"2024-07-14 17:02:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17781","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":17565,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-07-04 18:30:23","post_date_gmt":"2024-07-04 08:30:23","post_content":"\n

Since then, users have reported multiple<\/a> misleading or outright incorrect responses generated by the AI. Many people have posted these bizarre search results on X (formerly Twitter). This has predictably led to scrutiny about the quality of Google\u2019s products. Experts have also questioned Google\u2019s ability to keep pace with its competitors in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google responded via a blog release,<\/a> saying, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cIn the last week, people on social media have shared some odd and erroneous overviews.

Since then, users have reported multiple<\/a> misleading or outright incorrect responses generated by the AI. Many people have posted these bizarre search results on X (formerly Twitter). This has predictably led to scrutiny about the quality of Google\u2019s products. Experts have also questioned Google\u2019s ability to keep pace with its competitors in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google responded via a blog release,<\/a> saying, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cIn the last week, people on social media have shared some odd and erroneous overviews.

Meta Inc., the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp, has recently unveiled a new virtual AI assistant. Aptly titled Meta AI, the company claims its model is the \u201cmost intelligent AI assistant you can use for free\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuilt with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world\u2019s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free\u201d,<\/em> the company stated in a <\/a>blog post. The company has currently rolled out Meta AI in 13 countries outside of the USA including Australia, South Africa, Uganda, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta Inc., the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp, has recently unveiled a new virtual AI assistant. Aptly titled Meta AI, the company claims its model is the \u201cmost intelligent AI assistant you can use for free\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuilt with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world\u2019s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free\u201d,<\/em> the company stated in a <\/a>blog post. The company has currently rolled out Meta AI in 13 countries outside of the USA including Australia, South Africa, Uganda, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently unveiled its next generation of large language models (LLM) called Llama 3. Meta claims\u00a0that Llama\u00a03 is the \u201cmost capable openly available LLM to date\u201d <\/em>as the company raises its efforts to catch up to competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re excited to share the first two models of the next generation of Llama, Meta Llama 3, available for broad use\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company states in a blog post<\/a>. The two models come with 8B and 70B parameters. The blog also provides a chart showcasing Llama 3\u2019s improved performance compared to its previous iterations as well as other chat bots such as Google\u2019s Gemini and Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See Related: Meta Introduces Advanced AI Chatbots To All Its Apps, Revolutionizing User Interactions<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that unlike Gemini or Chat GPT, all of the Llama models are open source. The company states that this is deliberate as it hopes to create \u201cthe best open models that are on par with the best proprietary models available today\u201d. This could potentially aid Meta\u2019s AI models to gain an advantage over its competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cOur goal in the near future is to make Llama 3 multilingual and multimodal, have longer context, and continue to improve overall performance across core LLM capabilities such as reasoning and coding\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People can already test out the capabilities of Llama 3 by using Meta AI, a custom virtual AI assistant. Meta AI was built with the Llama 3 technology and it is already available on FaceBook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and the web. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Meet Meta\u2019s Llama 3: Claimed To Be The Most Capable LLM Available","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meet-metas-llama-3-claimed-to-be-the-most-capable-llm-available","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:42:52","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16553","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

Meta Inc., the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp, has recently unveiled a new virtual AI assistant. Aptly titled Meta AI, the company claims its model is the \u201cmost intelligent AI assistant you can use for free\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuilt with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world\u2019s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free\u201d,<\/em> the company stated in a <\/a>blog post. The company has currently rolled out Meta AI in 13 countries outside of the USA including Australia, South Africa, Uganda, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is already available on Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. Additionally, Meta AI is accessible on computers via meta.ai<\/a> (the website). Users can also utilize the assistant in their Facebook feed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the highlighted features of Meta AI is its \u201cImagine Feature\u201d, a real-time image generator. This feature will automatically create images as soon as a user starts typing. And it will change the image after every few letters. It can also create animations from any given picture. This feature is currently available in its beta version and only on WhatsApp and the Meta AI website in the US.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Facebook Has A New Virtual Assistant: Meet Meta AI","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"facebook-has-a-new-virtual-assistant-meet-meta-ai","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2024\/04\/meta-ai-assistant-built-with-llama-3\/","post_modified":"2024-05-04 02:29:27","post_modified_gmt":"2024-05-03 16:29:27","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16687","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16553,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:42:20","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:20","post_content":"\n

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently unveiled its next generation of large language models (LLM) called Llama 3. Meta claims\u00a0that Llama\u00a03 is the \u201cmost capable openly available LLM to date\u201d <\/em>as the company raises its efforts to catch up to competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re excited to share the first two models of the next generation of Llama, Meta Llama 3, available for broad use\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company states in a blog post<\/a>. The two models come with 8B and 70B parameters. The blog also provides a chart showcasing Llama 3\u2019s improved performance compared to its previous iterations as well as other chat bots such as Google\u2019s Gemini and Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See Related: Meta Introduces Advanced AI Chatbots To All Its Apps, Revolutionizing User Interactions<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that unlike Gemini or Chat GPT, all of the Llama models are open source. The company states that this is deliberate as it hopes to create \u201cthe best open models that are on par with the best proprietary models available today\u201d. This could potentially aid Meta\u2019s AI models to gain an advantage over its competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cOur goal in the near future is to make Llama 3 multilingual and multimodal, have longer context, and continue to improve overall performance across core LLM capabilities such as reasoning and coding\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People can already test out the capabilities of Llama 3 by using Meta AI, a custom virtual AI assistant. Meta AI was built with the Llama 3 technology and it is already available on FaceBook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and the web. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Meet Meta\u2019s Llama 3: Claimed To Be The Most Capable LLM Available","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meet-metas-llama-3-claimed-to-be-the-most-capable-llm-available","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:42:52","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16553","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

Meta Inc., the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp, has recently unveiled a new virtual AI assistant. Aptly titled Meta AI, the company claims its model is the \u201cmost intelligent AI assistant you can use for free\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuilt with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world\u2019s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free\u201d,<\/em> the company stated in a <\/a>blog post. The company has currently rolled out Meta AI in 13 countries outside of the USA including Australia, South Africa, Uganda, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently unveiled its next generation of large language models (LLM) called Llama 3. Meta claims\u00a0that Llama\u00a03 is the \u201cmost capable openly available LLM to date\u201d <\/em>as the company raises its efforts to catch up to competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re excited to share the first two models of the next generation of Llama, Meta Llama 3, available for broad use\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company states in a blog post<\/a>. The two models come with 8B and 70B parameters. The blog also provides a chart showcasing Llama 3\u2019s improved performance compared to its previous iterations as well as other chat bots such as Google\u2019s Gemini and Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See Related: Meta Introduces Advanced AI Chatbots To All Its Apps, Revolutionizing User Interactions<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that unlike Gemini or Chat GPT, all of the Llama models are open source. The company states that this is deliberate as it hopes to create \u201cthe best open models that are on par with the best proprietary models available today\u201d. This could potentially aid Meta\u2019s AI models to gain an advantage over its competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cOur goal in the near future is to make Llama 3 multilingual and multimodal, have longer context, and continue to improve overall performance across core LLM capabilities such as reasoning and coding\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People can already test out the capabilities of Llama 3 by using Meta AI, a custom virtual AI assistant. Meta AI was built with the Llama 3 technology and it is already available on FaceBook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and the web. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Meet Meta\u2019s Llama 3: Claimed To Be The Most Capable LLM Available","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meet-metas-llama-3-claimed-to-be-the-most-capable-llm-available","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:42:52","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16553","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

Meta Inc., the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp, has recently unveiled a new virtual AI assistant. Aptly titled Meta AI, the company claims its model is the \u201cmost intelligent AI assistant you can use for free\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuilt with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world\u2019s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free\u201d,<\/em> the company stated in a <\/a>blog post. The company has currently rolled out Meta AI in 13 countries outside of the USA including Australia, South Africa, Uganda, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See Related: <\/em><\/strong>Meta Introduces Advanced AI Chatbots To All Its Apps, Revolutionizing User Interactions<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is already available on Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. Additionally, Meta AI is accessible on computers via meta.ai<\/a> (the website). Users can also utilize the assistant in their Facebook feed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the highlighted features of Meta AI is its \u201cImagine Feature\u201d, a real-time image generator. This feature will automatically create images as soon as a user starts typing. And it will change the image after every few letters. It can also create animations from any given picture.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently unveiled its next generation of large language models (LLM) called Llama 3. Meta claims\u00a0that Llama\u00a03 is the \u201cmost capable openly available LLM to date\u201d <\/em>as the company raises its efforts to catch up to competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re excited to share the first two models of the next generation of Llama, Meta Llama 3, available for broad use\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company states in a blog post<\/a>. The two models come with 8B and 70B parameters. The blog also provides a chart showcasing Llama 3\u2019s improved performance compared to its previous iterations as well as other chat bots such as Google\u2019s Gemini and Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See Related: Meta Introduces Advanced AI Chatbots To All Its Apps, Revolutionizing User Interactions<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that unlike Gemini or Chat GPT, all of the Llama models are open source. The company states that this is deliberate as it hopes to create \u201cthe best open models that are on par with the best proprietary models available today\u201d. This could potentially aid Meta\u2019s AI models to gain an advantage over its competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cOur goal in the near future is to make Llama 3 multilingual and multimodal, have longer context, and continue to improve overall performance across core LLM capabilities such as reasoning and coding\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People can already test out the capabilities of Llama 3 by using Meta AI, a custom virtual AI assistant. Meta AI was built with the Llama 3 technology and it is already available on FaceBook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and the web. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Meet Meta\u2019s Llama 3: Claimed To Be The Most Capable LLM Available","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meet-metas-llama-3-claimed-to-be-the-most-capable-llm-available","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:42:52","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16553","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

Meta Inc., the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp, has recently unveiled a new virtual AI assistant. Aptly titled Meta AI, the company claims its model is the \u201cmost intelligent AI assistant you can use for free\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuilt with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world\u2019s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free\u201d,<\/em> the company stated in a <\/a>blog post. The company has currently rolled out Meta AI in 13 countries outside of the USA including Australia, South Africa, Uganda, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently unveiled its next generation of large language models (LLM) called Llama 3. Meta claims\u00a0that Llama\u00a03 is the \u201cmost capable openly available LLM to date\u201d <\/em>as the company raises its efforts to catch up to competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re excited to share the first two models of the next generation of Llama, Meta Llama 3, available for broad use\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company states in a blog post<\/a>. The two models come with 8B and 70B parameters. The blog also provides a chart showcasing Llama 3\u2019s improved performance compared to its previous iterations as well as other chat bots such as Google\u2019s Gemini and Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See Related: Meta Introduces Advanced AI Chatbots To All Its Apps, Revolutionizing User Interactions<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that unlike Gemini or Chat GPT, all of the Llama models are open source. The company states that this is deliberate as it hopes to create \u201cthe best open models that are on par with the best proprietary models available today\u201d. This could potentially aid Meta\u2019s AI models to gain an advantage over its competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cOur goal in the near future is to make Llama 3 multilingual and multimodal, have longer context, and continue to improve overall performance across core LLM capabilities such as reasoning and coding\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People can already test out the capabilities of Llama 3 by using Meta AI, a custom virtual AI assistant. Meta AI was built with the Llama 3 technology and it is already available on FaceBook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and the web. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Meet Meta\u2019s Llama 3: Claimed To Be The Most Capable LLM Available","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meet-metas-llama-3-claimed-to-be-the-most-capable-llm-available","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:42:52","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16553","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

American payment card service Mastercard is implementing generative AI technology to combat credit card fraud. As one of the largest credit card companies in America, the company believes AI can protect its vast clientele from potential threats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMastercard, a world leader in cyber security, is now better able to predict the full card detail of these compromised cards on its network, enabling banks to block them far faster than previously.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company revealed on its official website<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will use AI to scan \u201ctransaction data across billions of cards and millions of merchants\u201d. The AI will then alert banks and regulators when a card is suspected to be compromised. Using AI will allow them to predict the complete details of compromised cards, which enables banks to promptly remove these cards from their network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, has recently unveiled the newest iteration of its flagship AI model called GPT-4o (the \u201co\u201d stands for \u201cOmni\u201d). This development comes at a time when the race for generative AI is heating up among competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday we are introducing our newest model, GPT-4o, and will be rolling out more intelligence and advanced tools to ChatGPT for free\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, states OpenAI in a blog post<\/a>. The company claims GPT-4o is better than most AI models at understanding image prompts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the official statement<\/a>, this new model is capable of more \u201cnatural human-computer interaction\u201d. It can generate responses to audio inputs in as little as 232 milliseconds with an average time of 320 milliseconds. It can also process any combination of text, audio, and video, and generate appropriate content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta Inc., the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp, has recently unveiled a new virtual AI assistant. Aptly titled Meta AI, the company claims its model is the \u201cmost intelligent AI assistant you can use for free\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuilt with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world\u2019s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free\u201d,<\/em> the company stated in a <\/a>blog post. The company has currently rolled out Meta AI in 13 countries outside of the USA including Australia, South Africa, Uganda, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is built using the Llama 3, which is the latest iteration of the company\u2019s flagship large language model (LLM). Earlier this week, Meta also claimed that the Llama 3 model is on par with other proprietary LLMs such as Google\u2019s Gemini and OpenAI\u2019s GPT. These announcements are in line with the company\u2019s effort to catch up to its competitors, most of whom have made significant strides in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta AI is already available on Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. Additionally, Meta AI is accessible on computers via meta.ai<\/a> (the website). Users can also utilize the assistant in their Facebook feed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the highlighted features of Meta AI is its \u201cImagine Feature\u201d, a real-time image generator. This feature will automatically create images as soon as a user starts typing. And it will change the image after every few letters. It can also create animations from any given picture. This feature is currently available in its beta version and only on WhatsApp and the Meta AI website in the US.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Facebook Has A New Virtual Assistant: Meet Meta AI","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"facebook-has-a-new-virtual-assistant-meet-meta-ai","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2024\/04\/meta-ai-assistant-built-with-llama-3\/","post_modified":"2024-05-04 02:29:27","post_modified_gmt":"2024-05-03 16:29:27","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16687","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16553,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:42:20","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:20","post_content":"\n

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently unveiled its next generation of large language models (LLM) called Llama 3. Meta claims\u00a0that Llama\u00a03 is the \u201cmost capable openly available LLM to date\u201d <\/em>as the company raises its efforts to catch up to competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re excited to share the first two models of the next generation of Llama, Meta Llama 3, available for broad use\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company states in a blog post<\/a>. The two models come with 8B and 70B parameters. The blog also provides a chart showcasing Llama 3\u2019s improved performance compared to its previous iterations as well as other chat bots such as Google\u2019s Gemini and Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that unlike Gemini or Chat GPT, all of the Llama models are open source. The company states that this is deliberate as it hopes to create \u201cthe best open models that are on par with the best proprietary models available today\u201d. This could potentially aid Meta\u2019s AI models to gain an advantage over its competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cOur goal in the near future is to make Llama 3 multilingual and multimodal, have longer context, and continue to improve overall performance across core LLM capabilities such as reasoning and coding\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People can already test out the capabilities of Llama 3 by using Meta AI, a custom virtual AI assistant. Meta AI was built with the Llama 3 technology and it is already available on FaceBook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and the web. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Meet Meta\u2019s Llama 3: Claimed To Be The Most Capable LLM Available","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meet-metas-llama-3-claimed-to-be-the-most-capable-llm-available","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:42:52","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:42:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16553","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};
