Meta AI, an AI assistant equipped with the “most powerful open source model” LLaMA 3, is brought to WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Messenger platforms.
According to Meta’s announcement on April 18, Meta AI began to be provided for free on the company’s key products, as well as operating independently on a separate website, meta.ai. However, the deployment has just taken place in about 10 countries in Europe and the US.
In a post on Instagram, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Meta AI is easier to use than rival products thanks to its built-in integration into the search engine in a series of applications that have from hundreds of millions to billions of users.
One of the features mentioned by Zuckerberg is the ability to create images from text in real time. “LLaMA 3’s integrated Meta AI can create high-quality photos so quickly that changes will show up with each keyword the user enters. The AI will also create a video documenting that creative process,” he said.

LLaMA 3 is a large language model (LLM) recently released by Meta with two training versions on 8 billion and 70 billion parameters. The company describes this LLM as significantly reducing false response rates, improving alignment, and increasing response diversity.
“With LLaMA 3, we aim to build the best open source model today, on par with the strongest proprietary models,” Meta said. “LLaMA 3 will be multilingual and multimodal LLM, handling longer contexts and continuing to improve overall performance.”
Both versions of LLaMA 3 are integrated in Meta AI. According to The Verge, the company is working on another version of LLaMA 3 with 400 billion parameters.
“With the new model, we believe Meta AI is now the smartest AI assistant that people can comfortably use,” Zuckerberg said.
LLaMA is an AI model introduced by Meta in February 2023 when the AI craze was high and is currently in its third generation. In particular, LLaMA 3 is completely open source, while LLaMA 2 requires companies with more than 700 million monthly active users to apply for a license to use.
