Meta is all set to bring its business-focused generative artificial intelligence (AI) research team
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the company was bringing its business-focused generative artificial intelligence (AI) research team “closer together” with its Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) team and doubling down on a push to get the technology into products.
Appearing in a Thread video, Zuckerberg announced the change to the company’s AI efforts, including significant investments in specialised computer chips to build and deliver new generative AI models and products. He also said the company had begun training its next-generation Llama 3 large language model (LLM).
Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s CEO, said, “It’s become clear that the next generation of services requires building full general intelligence. Building the best AI assistants — AIs for creators, AIs for businesses and more — that needs advances in every area of AI, from reasoning to planning to coding to memory and other cognitive abilities.”
Zuckerberg explained that to accommodate the push to get generative artificial intelligence into its products, Meta will increase its technology infrastructure. Meta plans to have about 350,000 H100 graphics processing units (GPUs) from chip designer Nvidia by the end of the year.
