Meta Releases New Llama 3 Model, Integrates Across All Apps

Meta’s Llama 3 is finally here.

After months of waiting, many teases, and a recent announcement of AI integrations across all of its applications, Meta has open-sourced two new generative models, and the results look quite astonishing so far.

Let’s dive in.

There is little commentary to add as this news dropped less than 30 minutes ago. You heard it here first, folks. Instead, I’m going to curate and summarize the most relevant early reports and tests.

One theory on why this could be the case is the fact that Meta has more data than almost anyone on the planet. Despite potentially being behind on research, they might be able to make up the difference by brute forcing massive amounts of data to train and tune their models with.

Exhibit A:

Bonus: an interview with Zuck himself!

Tools

Must have tools for every artisan to add to their toolkit:

  • GitLoop: A tool for codebase navigation, debugging, and automate documentation and code review processes.

  • mindECHO: A Google Chrome Browser Extension to search saved bookmarks and web content.

  • Mailsplash: A tool to craft emails with copywriting and design customization.

  • LaterOn: A tool to aggregate newsletters into one summarized email.

  • Alice App: An AI desktop assistant to automate variety of tasks.

Closing Thought

Zuck just ships. Something to witness really.
