Choosing which AI chatbot or assistant to use regularly can feel like juggling many options. Now, Meta’s AI search, called the Llama 3 model, joins the mix, appearing seamlessly on WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, and on the web at meta.ai. Meta is confident that Llama 3 will stand out, as it’s the foundation of their AI. They’re rolling out two versions: one for consumer-facing chatbots in their apps and another for developers.
Meta plans to integrate Llama 3 into platforms like WhatsApp and Instagram first, then make it available to developers on platforms like Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. The Llama 3 model will also work with hardware from AMD, NVIDIA, Intel, and Qualcomm. Meta AI, powered by Llama 3, is set to go global after initially launching in the US. Meta plans to expand its availability to countries like Australia, Canada, Ghana, Jamaica, and more, bringing its advanced AI assistant to more users worldwide.
Overview of Meta’s Llama 3 AI Model
Meta’s latest AI model, Llama 3, comes in two versions: one for consumer-facing chatbots and a larger multimodal version. It will soon be available on various platforms like Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, with support for hardware from companies like AMD, Dell, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm.
Meta AI offers a wide range of capabilities across its apps and services. For example, its search function can pull results from both Google Search and Microsoft Bing, setting it apart from other AI assistants like ChatGPT and Copilot. Additionally, Meta’s Imagine tool can generate AI images as you type messages in WhatsApp, and there’s integration with Facebook Feed for more context on posts.
Meta’s Confidence in Llama 3’s Performance
Meta is showcasing confidence in its Llama 3 AI model, citing benchmark tests that demonstrate its superiority over competitors like Gemma and Mistral, as well as Google’s Gemini Pro 1.5 and Claude 3 Sonnet, particularly in the 8B and 70B parameter instruct and pre-trained model tests. This confidence reflects Meta’s emphasis on foundational strength and accuracy to avoid competitors’ missteps, such as Google’s issues with Bard and Gemini. Understanding that larger parameter counts enable models to learn more complex patterns, Meta’s focus on Llama 3’s performance highlights the importance of robust AI models in today’s landscape.
