Meta publicly released a new family of AI models, called Chameleon, which are comparable to the more commercial tools like Gemini Pro and GPT-4V.

It originally detailed all the models’ nuts and bolts in a paper which shows that Chameleon, which comes with a 7 billion and a 34 billion parameter version, is capable of understanding and generating images and text.
