Meta is making its Llama AI models available to more governments, Google is turning Gemini into a gaming sidekick, and Facebook added an AI assistant to its dating app

About this episode

Meta is allowing more governments to access its suite of Llama AI models. The group includes France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and South Korea and organizations associated with the European Union and NATO. The move comes after the company took similar steps last year to bring Llama to the US government and its contractors. Also, Google might have found a way Gemini could be useful while you're playing games on your phone. The company is introducing a new software overlay today it calls the Play Games Sidekick that gives you access to Gemini Live while you play, alongside a host of other gaming-focused updates to Google Play that could make the app platform a better home for gamers. Facebook Dating has added two new AI tools, because clearly a large language model is what the search for love and companionship has been missing all this time. The social media platform introduced a chatbot called dating assistant that can help find prospective dates based on a user's interests. Learn more about your ad choices.
