"Meta Unveils Llama 3-Powered AI Assistant for WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger"

Meta's new large language model Llama 3, with 8B and 70B parameters, outperforms other AI models in text-based responses, reasoning, and code writing, according to benchmark tests and human evaluations. It surpasses similarly sized models like Google's Gemma and Gemini, Mistral 7B, and Anthropic's Claude 3. Llama 3 is expected to expand to larger model sizes for more complex patterns and multimodal responses, but Meta did not compare these to other big models like GPT-4.
