Meta has just dropped a new version of its Llama family of large language models. The updated Llama 3.2 introduces multimodality, enabling it to understand images in addition to text. It also brings two new ‘tiny’ models into the family.
Llama is significant—not necessarily because it's more powerful than models from OpenAI or Google, although it does give them a run for their money—but because it's open source and accessible to nearly anyone with relative ease.

It was just last year that Fast Company featured OpenAI CTO Mira Murati on the cover of its magazine. Inside was a revealing exposé, where Murati talked about her part in building game-changing products like ChatGPT. Later that year Murati would briefly become CEO of OpenAI, when Sam Altman was forced out of the role. (He quickly reassumed the title.) Now Murati is gone, the latest in a string of executive departures at the hottest and best-funded AI startup in the world.
Murati announced her departure on Thursday with a thankful and diplomatic letter to her coworkers, but left no hint as to her reasons for leaving. She did, however, mention that her exit comes just after the company passed an important milestone: “Our recent releases of speech-to-speech and OpenAl o1 mark the beginning of a new era in interaction and intelligence—achievements made possible by your ingenuity and craftsmanship,” she wrote.
