Meta's unleashed its latest and greatest LLM - Llama 3. They reckon they've got "the best models existing today at the 8B and 70B parameter scale" and posted Llama 3's benchmark results compared to Mistral, Gemini and Claude (but not GPT4?). I have no idea if any of this is legit or not, but Meta has been busy with AI stuff for a while so I assume as far as LLMs go, it's half decent. Unlike previous models Meta's crapped on about, you can actually try this one out yourself with a chatbot style interface on the web, for free and not logged into any Meta stuff. Being a Meta thing, it's also baked in to Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger. I've already seen it enabled in Facebook groups where it comments on posts trying to be helpful but usually missing the point. No different than most Facebook comments to be honest.
