Meta Platforms has introduced Meta AI, a new AI chatbot powered by the advanced Llama 3 LLM with up to 70B parameters, enhancing reasoning and complex problem-solving.

Llama 3 is designed for efficiency with long text inputs, outperforming rivals in knowledge comprehension and English-language tasks, and is integrated into Meta apps like WhatsApp for rapid image processing.

While Meta AI will be open-source and free for developers, large tech companies will be charged for using the model to train their systems.

The AI employs a responsible approach with system-level responsibility, proactive red teaming, and robust trust and safety measures.

Meta plans to expand Llama 3's abilities to handle diverse data types and languages, aiming for greater accessibility and global availability, positioning it as a game-changer in the open-source AI field.
