The Facebook group Meta has presented an improved model of its chatbot Llama-3. The company wants to integrate parts of it into WhatsApp and Instagram.
Create images in real time while entering text: The Facebook group Meta integrates this function into its messenger WhatsApp, the photo sharing service Instagram and Facebook, among others. This was announced by Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg.
In a video accompanying the announcement, you can see how the improved AI called Llama-3 rapidly changes an image while the user enters the appropriate specifications into a text field.
The chatbot is currently not available in Germany. Meta has not announced when this will change. It was simply said that they plan to introduce the chatbot in other countries in the near future.
Only available in English
Llama-3 will initially only be available in English, said Meta manager Nick Clegg. However, more than five percent of the data used to train Llama-3 was in other languages.
Meta also brings its AI assistant into the networked glasses developed together with Ray Ban, which have a camera, microphone and loudspeaker. For example, while skiing, you can ask the assistant when and how Cleopatra died or what the weather is like in Berlin, said Clegg.
Meta is currently not thinking about business models for AI software, emphasized Clegg, who is the group’s head of policy. The Facebook Group wants to first develop technology that people find useful or interesting – “and then we’ll figure out later how you can make money with it.”
Llama is open source
Unlike, for example, the ChatGPT developer OpenAI, Meta makes its Llama technology (Large Language Model Meta AI) available as open source software where the source code is publicly viewable.
There is a growing view that open source models are safer because many people can test them and “you don’t have to rely on a company to iron out the vulnerabilities in your software.”
At the same time, there is currently a lack of a uniform basis for assessing the risks of artificial intelligence, criticized Clegg.
