Meta has just dropped a new version of its Llama family of large language models. The updated Llama 3.2 introduces multimodality, enabling it to understand images in addition to text. It also brings two new ‘tiny’ models into the family.
Llama is significant—not necessarily because it's more powerful than models from OpenAI or Google, although it does give them a run for their money—but because it's open source and accessible to nearly anyone with relative ease.
