Meta has started the assault on ChatGPT. The presentation of Llama 3 is the first step. Soon it will be everywhere.
Meta steps on the accelerator to catch up with OpenAI and Google. Llama 3, its most powerful artificial intelligence, is here. He says it has no rival among AIs that can be used for free. And to prove it, It is already integrating it into WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook.
Meta promises that Call 3 It is also the best AI for creating code. Among its new features is the ability to generate images in real time while you type the prompt, and then convert them into a GIF. It is a tool that is already integrated into WhatsApp. You have more information in this card:
Llama 3 is the new Meta AI assistant brainwhich can now be accessed from a Web page, not just from an app. Unfortunately, at the moment only from the United States and a few other countries.
Meta AI is the only chatbot that integrates the Google and Bing search engines to perform searches. Of course, it is Llama 3 that decides which of the two to use.
What is Llama 3
The new Meta language model is released in two versions. One with 8,000 million parameters and another with 70,000 million parameters, according to Explain Goal. The greater the number of parameters, the more complex the AI is and it can learn more precisely, depending on the data with which it is trained.
An even larger third version is in development, with no less than 400 billion parameters. We cannot compare with GPT-4, because OpenAI does not provide this data.
While Llama 2 was trained with 2 billion tokens, Llama 3 has used 15 million tokens. A token is the basic unit of data that AIs manage. The higher this value is, the more “smart” the AI is, and it makes fewer mistakes.
Speaking of bugs, Meta assures that one of the features of Llama 3 that they have been working on the most is reducing AI glitches or “hallucinations”and in situations where you don't find an answer.
Llama 3 has been trained only with public data and synthetic data, that is, artificial data that has been specially prepared to train an AI. No user data has been used.
Llama 3 has already begun to integrate into Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp. The four social networks can now perform AI searches. But for now, only in a dozen countries.
It is the great unfinished business of Meta. You won't be able to say that you compete with GPT or Gemini until Llama is available worldwide, and in multiple languages.
At the moment, Llama 3 generates text and images, but it is not yet capable of generating video, as Sora from OpenAI does. Meta still has work to do to catch up with GPT. But, like Google, it has a great advantage: it can integrate its AI into some of the most used apps in the world, such as WhatsApp, Facebook or Instagram. As Zuckerberg says, “it's a marathon, not a sprint.”
