Meta AI is Meta's artificial intelligence division (formerly Facebook), responsible for developing models and AI research. Meta AI is known for creating open language models, such as LLaMA (Large Language Model Meta AI), and for work in computer vision, text generation and reasoning.
How it works
Meta AI develops AI models that are trained on large datasets and released openly, allowing researchers and developers to use, study and improve the models. Unlike some competitors, Meta AI publishes model weights, which enables more transparent auditing and local adaptations.
Practical example
LLaMA is a language model that can run locally, allowing developers to build AI applications without relying on external APIs. The model can run on GPUs or even on weaker machines, depending on the version size (7B, 13B, 70B etc).
What it's used for
Meta AI is used for: text generation, translation, sentiment analysis, computer vision (classifying images), voice assistants and code generation.

How to test today
Download the Meta AI model, set up a free API, and create a simple script that calls the model. See how the response varies depending on the version and model size.
