Meta releases Llama 3 with Meta's AI Assistant in Every App!

 Meta is releasing powerful new AI assistants powered by its massive open-source Llama 3 language models across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger. This big AI integration move aims to improve user experiences while promoting an open ecosystem.

 Decoding the Details :

• In Meta's tests, Llama 3's 8B and 70B versions outperformed open models like Google's Gemma, Mistral 7B, and Anthropic's Claude 3 Sonnet.

• It was trained on a massive dataset 7x larger than Llama 2, with 15 trillion tokens and 4x more code data.

• The flagship 400B+ parameter version is slated for release in the coming months and expected to match proprietary models like GPT-4.

• Llama 3 is being integrated across Meta's platforms via the new Meta AI assistant on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and meta.ai.

By open-sourcing such large language models, Meta wants to prevent big tech concentrating AI power and enable a more balanced landscape.

Microsoft
Microsoft’s VASA-1 AI can make you say anything

 Microsoft's new VASA-1 AI can create amazingly lifelike talking head videos from just a single photo and an audio clip. It animates realistic expressions, head movements, and even singing performances.

 Decoding the Details :

• Just feed VASA-1 a still image and voice recording - it generates a video of that person talking/singing with synchronized mouth and emotive facial animations.

• Goes beyond basic lip-syncing to produce nuanced expressions, natural head motions, and realistic singing performances from the audio.

• User controls let you adjust aspects like eye gaze, head distance from camera, and emotional tone of the animated video.

Some use cases : virtual avatars, gaming, animation for movies/TV shows, educational content creation, it demonstrates deepfake tech has advanced enough to produce "insanely realistic" synthetic media
