Meta to launch new AI language model Llama 3 in July, according to The Information
According to a report from The Information, Meta Platforms is set to launch the latest iteration of its artificial intelligence large language model, Llama 3, in July. This updated version is expected to provide improved responses to challenging questions from users.
Metascientists try to “loosen” the model so that it can at least provide context for what they consider a controversial query.
The effort, which would increase the utility of Meta’s new LLM, comes as rival Google discontinued the image-making feature of its Gemini AI after it produced historical images that were sometimes inaccurate.
Meta’s Llama 2, which controls chatbots on its social media platforms, refuses to answer less controversial questions like how to prank a friend, win a war or kill a car engine, according to the publication’s tests.
However, according to the report, which cited multiple sources, Llama 3 would be able to understand questions like “how to turn off a vehicle’s engine,” meaning how to turn it off rather than end its life.
According to the report, Meta also plans to appoint someone in the coming weeks to oversee sound and safety training as part of its efforts to make the model’s responses more versatile.
Meta did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment.
