Facebook to release Llama 3 400Billion AI next week
In a move that is sure to shake up the AI landscape, Facebook's parent company Meta is gearing up to release its most powerful language model yet - the Llama 3 400B. Slated for launch by the end of July 2024, this highly anticipated model is expected to rival the performance of OpenAI's vaunted GPT-4o (Omni). All while using less than half the parameters.
The announcement comes just months after Meta unveiled the initial Llama 3 family of models in April, which had already outperformed competitors like Google's Gemma and Anthropic's Claude Sonnet in their 8B and 70B parameter sizes.
The Llama 3 400B model is particularly noteworthy, as it approaches parity with GPT-4o in terms of performance, despite its significantly smaller size. This suggests that Meta has made major advancements in model architecture and training efficiency.
But perhaps the most compelling aspect of Llama 3 is its open license, which will allows for unfettered research and commercial use. This open approach stands in contrast to the more restrictive policies of other tech giants, and could….

Tesla delays robotaxi event in blow to Musk autonomy drive
Tesla has decided to postpone the unveiling of its much-anticipated robotaxi until October, according to sources familiar with the decision. The delay comes as Tesla's design teams were instructed this week to rework certain elements of the vehicle, one person said.
The decision to push back the reveal represents a shift in priorities for Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Who has made the robotaxi project a key focus in recent months. Even as work on a more affordable electric vehicle model has taken a backseat.
For over a decade, Musk has touted Tesla's progress in autonomous driving technology. Going so far as to charge customers thousands of dollars for the company's "Full Self-Driving" suite of features. However, the name is widely considered a misnomer - as the system still requires constant human supervision and does not render Tesla vehicles truly autonomous.
Nevertheless, Musk and Tesla's top engineers have grown increasingly bullish about the capabilities of FSD in recent months….

Elon Musk admits diverting Tesla’s AI chips to xAI
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has admitted diverting Nvidia's latest AI chips, originally destined for Tesla to his other ventures. Including his latest startup xAI and social media company X.
Musk justified the decision, stating that Tesla had "no place to send the Nvidia chips to turn them on, so they would have just sat in a warehouse." However, this revelation has sparked fears that Musk may be breaching his fiduciary responsibility to Tesla shareholders.
Earlier this year, Musk had threatened to move AI development out of Tesla if investors didn't grant him enough stock to raise his stake from 12% to 25% (another 9% held indirectly in the form of options granted as compensation).
The reason for Musk's decision might be the high demand for Nvidia's benchmark H100 training chips. Which are so advanced that the U.S. has banned their export to China. Musk may have been unable to afford the risk of passing on a potential delivery slot allocated by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's company NVIDIA….
