Llama 3.2:
Meta has announced its new free and open-source large language model (LLM), Llama 3.2, during Meta Connect 2024.
- Llama 3.2 is an open-source large language model developed by Meta.
- It has both image and text processing abilities.
- It includes voice interaction features, allowing users to engage in conversations with the AI using voice commands.
- This model includes both small and medium-sized variants at 11-billion and 90-billion parameters as well as more lightweight text-only models at 1-billion and 3-billion parameters that fit into select mobile and edge devices.
- Out of the different Llama 3.2 variants, the 11-billion parameter one and the 90-billion parameter one are vision models and can understand charts and graphs, caption images and locate objects from natural language prompts.
- The bigger model can also pinpoint details from images to create captions.
- The models will help developers create more advanced AI applications like AR apps with a real-time understanding of video, visual search engines that distribute images based on content, or document analysis tools that can summarise large portions of text.
