) on Thursday released early versions of its latest large language model, Llama 3, and an image generator that updates pictures in real time while users type prompts, as it races to catch up to generative AI market leader OpenAI.
The social media giant equipped Llama 3 with new computer coding capabilities and fed it images as well as text this time, though for now the model will output only text, Meta Chief Product Officer Chris Cox said in an interview. Cox said the inclusion of images in the training of Llama 3 would enhance an update rolling out this year to the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, a partnership with glasses maker Essilor Luxoticca, enabling Meta AI to identify objects seen by the wearer and answer questions about them.The Meta AI assistant is expanding to more than a dozen markets outside the U.S. with the update, including Australia, Canada, Singapore, Nigeria and Pakistan.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg nodded at that competition in a video accompanying the announcement, in which he called Meta AI"the most intelligent AI assistant that you can freely use." Meta said it cut down on those problems in Llama 3 by using"high quality data" to get the model to recognize nuance. It did not elaborate on the datasets used, although it said it fed seven times more data into Llama 3 than it used for Llama 2 and leveraged"synthetic," or AI-created, data to strengthen areas like coding and reasoning.
