Meta is stepping up its game in the artificial intelligence (AI) race with the introduction of its new open-source AI model, Llama 3, alongside a new version of Meta AI. Powered by Llama 3, this virtual assistant is now available across all Meta platforms.
Here’s all you need to know about Meta’s newest large language model (LLM) and AI assistant.
What is Llama 3?
Meta launched Llama 3, the latest in its Llama series of open-source AI models. Llama 3 comes in two variants: one with 8 billion parameters and another with 70 billion parameters.
Meta claims that Llama 3 sets a new standard for large language models at these parameter scales. They have improved pretraining and post-training processes, resulting in reduced false refusal rates, better alignment, and more diverse responses from the model. Notably, Llama 3 boasts enhanced capabilities in reasoning, code generation, and instruction following.
