Meta AI (Llama 3)

Meta AI, powered by the open-weight Llama 3 model, is a highly accessible chatbot integrated directly into WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. It provides a solid, general-purpose AI experience for free, featuring real-time web search via Bing and image generation.

Its strength is ubiquity and ease of use within Meta's family of apps, lowering the barrier to entry for millions. It targets casual users within Meta's ecosystems. While not the most powerful standalone model, its score reflects its massive distribution, zero cost, decent performance, and strategic integration into daily communication platforms.
