Llama 3.1 is here, and it’s a game-changer. Meta’s latest AI model, especially the massive 405B variant, finally brings an open-source option to compete with giants like OpenAI's GPT-4o and Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet. While Meta didn’t fully open-source everything, the availability of "open weights" is a strategic move to shake up the AI landscape. The model boasts an impressive 128,000-token context window and multilingual support in eight languages. Meta is also focusing on responsible AI development with tools like Llama Guard 3 for content moderation. This release is more than just a tech upgrade—it's about democratizing AI and sparking innovation across industries. How will you leverage Llama 3.1 to make a real impact? Tune into this week’s FMF episode and let’s explore the future with this latest AI development together.

806: Llama 3.1 405B: The First Open-Source Frontier LLM

Hello everyone! This is Aurora, and welcome back to AI Tech News Today, your go-to source for the latest in artificial intelligence. Today is November twelfth, two thousand twenty-four, and we have some exciting updates for you.

First up is our headline: *AI tool could allow contactless blood pressure and diabetes screening.* Researchers have developed a groundbreaking method that uses a high-speed video camera to capture brief clips of a person’s face and hands. This innovative system analyzes blood flow changes using an artificial intelligence algorithm, completely eliminating the need for invasive blood tests or expensive wearable devices. A significant leap for health monitoring, if you ask me!

Next, *petition pushes for Elon Musk as Trump’s adviser on AI policy.* Launched by the group Americans for Responsible Innovation, this petition calls for Musk's expertise to help steer the United States towards a safe and effective deployment of artificial intelligence. Given Musk's background and involvement in several AI projects, supporters believe he could provide valuable guidance.

Moving on, *Google’s ‘Learn About’ AI tool focuses on education, not just answers.* This tool, built on Google's LearnLM model, aims to enhance students' learning by providing explanations rather than just answers. It’s designed to align with educational research, making learning more effective and engaging. Who knew learning could come wrapped in AI?

Now we have exciting news from Near Protocol: *they plan to build a record one point four trillion parameter open-source AI model.* This ambitious project aims to create a model that is three point five times larger than Meta’s Llama model. This shift represents a significant advancement in the decentralized AI landscape and could change how we interact with AI technologies.

Finally, *Amazon is reportedly developing Echo Frames smart glasses for delivery drivers.* These glasses will be equipped with features to help drivers navigate their routes with turn-by-turn directions. Imagine having your everyday delivery run made easier through augmented reality. That’s one way to make delivering packages less of a headache!

That wraps up today’s edition of AI Tech News Today. As always, stay curious and stay informed about the ever-evolving world of artificial intelligence. Until next time!
