On Thursday, Meta Platforms presented the first versions of the latest Llama 3 language model. The new updates included improvements to the code writing function. It is often used to create applications. The new version will also include an image generator. It updates illustrations in real time while the user enters text prompts.

The new models will be integrated into the Meta AI virtual assistant. The company positions Llama 3 AI as the most advanced of free analogues, comparing the performance of Meta AI with similar products from Google (Alphabet), Mistral AI startup, etc.

What other updates has the model received

The updates will make Meta AI faster and more productive, improve the function of writing code and testing applications. In addition, the virtual assistant will get a separate website. On the website’s home page, visitors will be offered to try out the virtual assistant. For example, users can ask it to select a music playlist, help them with an essay, or draw their favourite character.

In such a simple way, Meta is trying to popularise AI products among users and create a worthy competition for the tech giant OpenAI.
