Meta has released Llama 3, its most advanced large language model (LLM) to date. The social media giant confirmed that the AI model, which it is making open source, would be accessible via AWS, Google Cloud, IBM WatsonX and other platforms. Meta said that Llama 3 showcases enhanced reasoning capabilities compared to its predecessors, which it largely ascribes to improvements in its transformer architecture, training regime and instruction tuning. While the firm characterised the model as “early,” the model is already connected to the firm’s virtual assistant, Meta AI. The assistant is not currently available in the UK. 

“We are embracing the open source ethos of releasing early and often to enable the community to get access to these models while they are still in development,” said Meta. “The text-based models we are releasing today are the first in the Llama 3 collection of models. Our goal in the future is to make Llama 3 multilingual, have longer context, and continue to improve performance across core LLM capabilities such as reasoning and coding.”
