MAIN COURSE

Meta’s new AI model 🦾 🤖 

Yesterday, Meta unveiled LLaMA 3.1, their biggest open-source AI yet. It’s a 405B parameter model.

What's the fuss about?

LLaMA 3.1 boasts top-tier performance, 128K context, and 8-language support. It's backed by tech giants like AWS and Google Cloud.

How much does it cost?

While the model's free, Meta's keeping the training data under wraps. So it's not truly “open-source” without the full package.

Why do I care?

Developers are diving in, but regulators might be playing catch-up. As LLaMA 3.1 spreads its wings, we're all watching to see if it soars or stumbles. Can we put this genie back in the bottle if things go south? Time will tell.

What about its training data?

Meta remains secretive about Llama 3.1's training data. They claim it's confidential, but critics see it as dodging potential copyright issues.

SIDE SALAD

Kling is now widely available 🎥🔥

On Wednesday, Kuaishou launched Kling’s wide availability. It’s a powerful new video-generating AI model. But it seems to come with a catch — built-in political censorship.

What's the deal with Kling?

Generates impressive 5-second, 720p videos from text prompts. It simulates physics well, rivaling models like Runway's Gen-3 and OpenAI's Sora. It’s now available globally with just an email sign-up.

Sounds good. What's the catch?

Kling won't touch certain topics with a 10-foot pole:

  • “Democracy in China”

  • “Chinese President Xi Jinping walking down the street”

  • “Tiananmen Square protests”

Why the censorship?

China's Cyberspace Administration is cracking down on AI. It states that models must “embody core socialist values.” China’s AI companies face intense scrutiny and potential blacklisting. Even chatbots like Baidu's Ernie play it safe on controversial topics.

Why do I care?

China's AI progress might slow due to these restrictions. We're seeing a split between heavily filtered Chinese AI and less restricted global models. You get access to cool tech, but with some serious strings attached.
