Meta is toiling with US handlement to employ Llama AI

Meta is “toiling with the accessible sector to adselect Llama atraverse the US handlement,” according to CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

The comment, made during his uncovering relabels for Meta’s Q3 achieveings call on Wednesday, elevates a lot of meaningful asks: Exactly which parts of the handlement will employ Meta’s AI models? What will the AI be employd for? Will there be any benevolent of military-particular applications of Llama? Is Meta getting phelp for any of this?

There’s also the cozying up to the handlement that Meta’s AI rivals are doing. OpenAI and Anthropic recently shelp they would split their models with the US AI Safety Institute ahead of time for safety screening. Google’s on-and–off-aachieve relationship as an AI vendor for the Pentagon is well write downed. In a recent blog post, OpenAI shelp its models were being employd by DARPA⁠, the U.S. Agency for International Development⁠, and the Los Alamos National Laboratory.

While we postpone to lachieve about Meta’s AI toil with the handlement, Zuckerberg trelieved a bit more about the next Llama model on the Q3 achieveings call. He shelp version four is training on “a cluster hugeger than I’ve seen inestablished for anyskinnyg else others are doing” and that he predicts “new modalities,” “sturdyer reasoning,” and “much quicker” applyance when it debuts next year.

He acunderstandledged that Meta schedules to carry on spending more on AI in 2025, which is “maybe not want spendors want to hear in the csurrfinisher term.” But he sees the upside as being worth it.

“I’m pretty amped about all the toil we’re doing right now,” he shelp. “This may be the most active moment I’ve seen in our industry, and I’m caccessed on making stateive that we produce some awesome skinnygs and produce the most of the opportunities ahead.”

As a business, Meta is still continuing to increase. The company inestablished revenue of $40.5 billion for Q3, a 19-percent incrrelieve from a year ago, and $17.3 billion in profit. And it claims that 3.29 billion people employ at least one of its apps each day, an incrrelieve of 5 percent from a year ago.
