"MediaTek's Flagship Phones to Integrate On-Device AI Support by 2024"

MediaTek has announced that its upcoming flagship chipset will support on-device generative AI, partnering with Meta to offer the Llama 2 large language model. The first phones with this chip are expected to be available by the end of 2023. This move follows Qualcomm's announcement last month that on-device generative AI would be featured in 2024's flagship phones. On-device AI capabilities provide privacy benefits and cost savings by running AI tasks locally instead of sending data to the cloud. MediaTek's next-generation chipset, likely called the Dimensity 9300, will feature optimized software and an upgraded APU to enhance Llama 2 and AI performance.

Meta's Strategic Shift: From Free AI Models to Charging Cloud Providers

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has made a bold move by giving away the code for its AI language model, Llama 2, for free. This open-source approach challenges the dominant players in the AI field, such as Google and OpenAI, who have been more guarded with their technology. While open-sourcing AI models can lead to more innovation and tap into the "intelligence of the masses," it also comes with risks, including the potential misuse of the technology and concerns about the safety and control of advanced AI systems. The move by Meta sparks an important ethical debate about who should control AI and whether it can be made safe.

"Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) Receives Upgraded Stock Rating Ahead of Earnings"

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) received an upgrade from Neutral to Buy by New Street Research analyst Dan Salmon, with a price target of $350. The upgrade was driven by the release of Llama 2, which is expected to expand the use of Meta's large language model. The company's AI Speaker Series highlighted Messaging and Metaverse, VR, and AR as top use cases for generative AI, leading to an improved outlook for monetization of WhatsApp and Messenger. Salmon believes the recent launch of Llama 2 and the adoption of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework reduce near-term risks for Meta.

Meta's Llama 2: The Non-Open Source AI Competitor to ChatGPT

Meta's newly released large language model, Llama 2, is being criticized for not truly being open source. The Llama 2 Community License Agreement includes restrictions on training other language models and requires a special license for apps or services with over 700 million monthly users. Open-source advocates argue that these limitations contradict the principles of open source, which should allow developers and users to freely use and modify the technology without seeking permission. The license's language and the lack of a public drafting or comment process have raised concerns among experts, who argue that the license is not truly open source.

"Meta's Llama 2: The Game-Changing AI Release That Challenges ChatGPT"

Meta's release of the second-generation Llama model, while not generating as much press buzz as ChatGPT, is considered the industry's most significant AI release since November. Llama 2 allows companies to build personalized and useful AI chatbots with proprietary data, enhancing their capabilities. However, despite being freely accessible, the model's licensing restrictions prevent it from being classified as "open source."

Meta's Nick Clegg Defends Open-Source AI Model and Criticizes AI Language Models as 'Quite Stupid'

Nick Clegg, president of global affairs at Meta, has defended the release of an open-source AI model called Llama 2, stating that concerns about AI's dangers are exaggerated. Clegg argued that the models being open-sourced are far from super-intelligent and that Meta has taken precautions to ensure their safety. However, some experts have raised concerns about the potential misuse of open-source AI models. Clegg believes that open-sourcing AI models will make them safer by involving the "wisdom of crowds" and reducing the control of big tech companies.

"Meta and Qualcomm Collaborate to Bring Powerful A.I. Models to Mobile Devices"

Qualcomm and Meta have announced a partnership to enable Meta's large language model, Llama 2, to run on Qualcomm chips on phones and PCs starting in 2024. This move aims to position Qualcomm processors as suitable for AI applications "on the edge" or on devices, rather than relying on cloud-based servers. By running large language models on phones, the cost of running AI models could be reduced, leading to improved voice assistants and faster apps. Qualcomm's tensor processor unit (TPU) is well-suited for AI calculations, although the processing power on mobile devices is still limited compared to data centers. Meta's Llama 2, an open-source model, can be packaged in a smaller program to run on phones. This partnership builds on Qualcomm and Meta's previous collaborations in the virtual reality space.
