Not remotely dissuaded by the hiccups with the launch of AI stickers in Facebook with Llama 2 last year (remember those gun-toting Super Marios?), Meta is showcasing the capabilities of its new model, Llama 3, with real-time AI image generation in WhatsApp.
Open source and free for both research and commercial use, Llama 3 is being billed as the best free large language model, surpassing Microsoft's Co-Pilot and Google's Gemini. Part of its strength is its integration in widely used Meta apps, including WhatsApp. And that integration now involves super-fast image generation.
