Zuckerberg took to Instagram today to explain that Meta would incorporate the new Meta AI assistant, powered by Llama 3, into products that include Whatsapp, Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger.
Meta said in its blog post announcing Llama 3 that it had focused heavily on improving the training data used to develop the model. It was fed seven times as much data as its predecessor, Llama 2, the company said. Some AI experts noted that figures released by Meta also showed that creating Llama 3 required huge amounts of energy to power the servers required.
The growing capabilities of open source AI models have spurred some experts to worry that they could make it easier to develop cyber, chemical, or biological weapons—or even become hostile toward humans. Meta has released tools that it says can help ensure Llama does not output potentially harmful utterances.
