On April 21, 2024, Meta Platforms introduced Llama 3, the newest in its series of Large Language Models.

Llama 3 boasts 8 billion to 70 billion parameters, supports over 30 languages, and has an 8K extended context length.

The model incorporates weight-only-quantization for efficient CPU inference, aiming to reduce latency in generative AI tasks.

With training on over 15 trillion tokens, Llama 3 aims to enhance chatbots, content creation, language translation, and R&D.

Critics have expressed concerns about Llama 3's potential to generate insensitive or irrelevant responses.

Despite these concerns, Llama 3 is now integrated into Meta's social media platforms, enhancing chat support and creative content features, and improving the AI assistant's interactivity.
