Meta AI challenge to ChatGPT has an element of surprise, albeit not unexpected

It is likely that you’re in the midst of the ultimate juggling act, with a decision yet to be made. That is, which artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot or assistant to begin using, more regularly. A conundrum many are struggling with. If the present choices of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Microsoft’s Copilot, Google Gemini and Perplexity AI’s curation of multiple AI models with the Pro subscription weren’t enough, add Meta AI to the list. To that effect, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta may be making adoption simpler, by seamlessly appearing within WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Messenger, alongside meta.ai on the web.

Meta’s latest AI model, the Llama 3, is what Meta AI is built on. That, according to the company, is the reason they’re confident this foundational open-source model will outperform competition. In fact, Meta is rolling out two different Llama 3 models. One will be the underlier for consumer facing AI chatbots in Meta’s apps.
