Meta stated in a statement that they will release a multimodal Llama model in the coming months, but it will not be released in the European Union due to the unpredictability of the regulatory environment. Meta plans to adopt new multimodal models in a variety of products, including smartphones and Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses, which can infer between video, audio, images, and text. Meta stated that this decision means that European companies will not be able to use multimodal models, even though these models are released under open licenses. (First Financial Daily)
