🗞️ Meta rolls out AI assistant across social media apps
“Metaverse” by DALL-E 3
Meta is rolling out its free AI assistant, Meta AI, across all of its social media platforms.
What you should know:
Meta AI is powered by Llama 3, the company’s latest LLM designed to compete with ChatGPT and Gemini.
The new assistant is built into the search box of WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Messenger.
Potential use cases include asking Meta AI for restaurant recommendations or help planning a vacation.
Meta AI is also available on the web for a more standard chatbot experience.
Why it matters: The big winners of the AI race will likely be companies that roll out generative AI features to platforms that already have high traffic. With Meta AI, Meta is bringing a free AI assistant to around 4 billion monthly users around the world.

Object Removal lets users easily remove unwanted objects from a clip.
Adobe is also exploring third-party integrations with Runway, Pika Labs and OpenAI’s Sora.

Apple is reportedly producing M4 computer processors that would equip every Mac model with AI processing capabilities.
The details:
The company aims to release the updated computers by the end of this year.
Apple’s new M4 chips can handle AI tasks like summarizing long documents without sending data to the cloud.
More powerful chips could also enable Macs to run advanced AI models locally rather than on the web.
More information is expected at Apple’s annual developer conference in June.
Why it matters: 2024 has already been a big year for on-device AI and we’re getting even closer to the next generation of Apple devices. Apple users, your devices are going to get a lot smarter by next year.
