The more important upgrade for Meta's long-term ambitions, though, is the new ability of its models to see users' photos and other visual information. Meta today also announced Llama 3.2, the first version of its free AI models to have visual abilities, broadening their usefulness and relevance for robotics, virtual reality, and so-called AI agents. Some versions of Llama 3.2 are also the first to be optimized to run on mobile devices. This could help developers create AI-powered apps that run on a smartphone and tap into its camera or watch the screen in order to use apps on your behalf. "This is our first open source, multimodal model, and it's going to enable a lot of interesting applications that require visual understanding," Zuckerberg said on stage at Connect, a Meta event held in California today.
