News on October 15, Western United States time, Lenovo Group held its annual Tech World conference in Seattle, United States. In his keynote speech, Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing joined Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg in announcing that Lenovo and meta have partnered to launch AI Now, a personal AI agent for PCs based on the Llama model.
Zuckerberg said in his keynote speech via video that Lenovo and Meta have worked together for many years and have launched many outstanding innovations to bring breakthrough AI and mixed reality technologies to more people and jointly build a smarter future.
Lenovo's latest personal AI agent, AI Now, is built on Meta's Llama model to transform PCs into more useful and personalized smart devices. And that's a big reason why Meta is open-sourced Llama, so companies like Lenovo can fine-tune large language models to optimize their performance in specific use cases.
Recently, Meta has just released Llama 3.2, which is Meta's first open-source multimodal model. Meta has released models with 11 billion and 90 billion parameters, as well as smaller models with 1 billion and 3 billion parameters optimized for running on devices.
Zuckerberg said we believe open source is the most cost-effective, customizable, trustworthy and high-performing option available. Today, Llama is at the forefront and is becoming the industry standard in AI, just as "Linux" is in the operating system. By partnering with Llama, Lenovo has played a key role in our journey to this inflection point and has delivered an impressive experience for consumers.
