for its AI assistant platform, Meta AI, which has been built using the long-awaited open source Llama 3 large language model . The company says it's “now the most intelligent AI assistant you can use for free.” As for use case scenarios, the company touts the ability to help users study for tests, plan dinners and schedule nights out. You know the drill. It’s an AI chatbot.

Meta AI, however, has expanded into just about every nook and cranny throughout the company’s entire portfolio, after a test run. It’s still available with Instagram, but now users can access it on Messenger, Facebook feeds and Whatsapp. The chatbot also has a dedicated web portal at, wait for it,. You don’t need a company login to use it this way, though it won’t generate images.

Meta’s also expanding global availability along with this update, as Meta AI is coming to more than a dozen countries outside of the US.

It also used synthetic data to create lengthy documents to train on and claims it excluded all data sources that are known to contain a “high volume of personal information about private individuals.
