Mark Zuckerberg has introduced more AI announcements from Meta. Yama 3.2 is here, bringing big upgrades. It now fits on edge devices optimized for Qualcomm and MediaTek. This means better performance for on-device AI.
Yama 3.2 isn’t just an upgrade; it's a huge leap. The two largest models, 11B and 90B, can do image reasoning. Imagine you have a graph showing your small business’s sales over the year. You ask Yama which month had the best sales. Yama 3.2 can read the graph and tell you. It’s not just spitting out data; it understands what it sees.
Meta showed a demo of these vision capabilities. They uploaded an image to Yama 3.2. The model described the image, highlighting its features like black leather furniture and a central fireplace. It detected objects such as a couch, chair, and coffee table. The user asked to see alternative fireplaces. Yama 3.2 provided a list with descriptions and fetched related images. This shows how vision models can improve the AI experience. With open source access, more experiences are coming.
Now, let's look at Yama 3.2 benchmarks. Meta says the Llama 3.2 Vision models compete well with leading models like Claude 3 and GPT 4. The 3B model outperforms earlier models on tasks like summarization and tool use. The 1B model is also competitive.
When comparing these models, it's clear they are impressive for their size. You can't compare Llama 3.2 to the top models like GPT 4.o because they are much larger. But for their size, Llama 3.2 does very well.
One benchmark is mathematical reasoning with vision. This tests how well models solve problems involving text and visuals. Here, Llama 3.2's 90B model scores 45.2, beating Claude 3's 27.3 and slightly ahead of GPT 4.o mini's 42.3. This is a big win, showing Llama 3.2's strength in handling complex problems.
These benchmarks show Llama 3.2 is catching up to closed-source models. It's exciting to see open-source models perform well in tasks like image reasoning and mathematical problems. With these advancements, the future of AI looks bright.
