• Meta launched the latest iteration of its chatbot, Llama 3, on Thursday.
• Mark Zuckerberg said the chatbot is "state-of-the-art" and has improved reasoning.
• However, no model, including Meta's, poses "existential risks," he told The Verge.

Meta launched the latest iteration of its AI chatbot on Thursday with Llama 3, and CEO Mark Zuckerberg says it's supposed to be really good.

The new model boasts "state-of-the-art" performance on various industry-standard benchmarks and comes with "improved reasoning," according to a company blog post. Meta said that it will integrate the model into its AI assistant, Meta AI, which will be available to use across other Meta products, including Instagram.
