"The announcement also highlights the growing partnership between Meta and Nvidia. Nvidia is a key Meta partner, providing the Facebook parent with computing chips called GPUs to help train its AI models, including the latest version of Llama."
If this machine-learning technology is as transformative as some people are claiming, its long-term impact may be just as profound as print has been.
(Remember that much of the output of current AI is kept relatively sanitised by the unacknowledged labour of poorly paid people in poor countries.
