Meta announces the release of Llama 3 and challenges ChatGPT using Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp for support

Meta AI, a chatbot only available in English for the moment, becomes even more efficient thanks to the new Llama 3 language model, the first two versions of which are unveiled today (with 8 billion or 70 billion parameters). Meta's goal is to overtake OpenAI and Google, thanks to its 3 billion users worldwide.

GPT-4, Gemini and Mistral have a new enemy: Llama 3. Unveiled on April 18 after months of rumors, Meta's new language model comes in two versions, with 8 billion or 70 billion parameters. Meta presents it as much more intelligent than its predecessor, even superior to the competition, and is banking on its capabilities to become a giant in generative AI, ahead of OpenAI and Google.

To overtake the two AI giants, Meta has a major asset: the three billion users of Facebook, Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp. Meta AI, its competitor to ChatGPT currently only available in English, is migrating today to Llama 3, replacing Llama 2. The site Meta.ai also allows you to chat with the chatbot, in countries where the service is available (the European Union is not one of them). Meta's objective is clear: to put AI everywhere, in services that we use every day.
