Meta launched a new ‘cost-efficient’ AI model.

A new Llama 3.3 70B model dropped today, and Meta’s VP of genAI said it matches the performance of the larger 405B version, but runs cheaper and lighter. They also claimed this new model beats competitors Google, OpenAI, and Amazon on key tests like MMLU.

Competitors also really love overlapping their AI announcements — Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, and xAI have all dropped announcements this week.
