Challenging problems. Unimaginable scale. Doing what’s never been done, then doing it again. Different builds different. Let’s build together. https://bit.ly/3WA5PIn

We’ve launched Meta Movie Gen, a suite of AI models that allows creators to turn simple text inputs into custom videos and sounds. 🎥✨ In partnership with award-winning production company Blumhouse, we are working closely with top filmmakers like Aneesh Chaganty, The Spurlock Sisters and Casey Affleck to gather invaluable feedback before our public debut next year. “While we’re not planning to incorporate Movie Gen models into any public products until next year, Meta feels it’s important to have an open and early dialogue with the creative community about how it can be the most useful tool for creativity and ensure its responsible use.” - Connor Hayes, VP of GenAI at Meta.

New open source release — Meta Open Materials 2024: a new open source model and dataset to accelerate inorganic materials discovery. • Open Materials 2024 models: Deliver results putting them at the top of the MatBench-Discovery leaderboard. They use the EquiformerV2 architecture and come in three different sizes: 31M, 86M and 153M. Get the models on Hugging Face ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eMzmfE6W • Open Materials 2024 dataset: Contains over 100 million Density Functional Theory calculations focused on structural and compositional diversity — making it one of the largest open datasets of its kind to train these types of models. Get the dataset on Hugging Face ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eMzmfE6W We’re happy to share this work openly with the community excited for how this work could enable further research breakthroughs in AI-accelerated materials discovery.

“Designers aspire to innovate with cutting-edge technology in a way that still feels approachable and accessible to people who aren't familiar with it,” says Elisabeth Carr, VP of GenAI Design and Creative, Meta. “With AI, striking the right balance is even more of a challenge. In my role, I encourage teams to focus on finding the intersection of innovation and experiences that resonate and feel familiar.” How can innovations in AI help people connect more deeply with the things and people that matter to them? In our latest piece, Elisabeth shares guiding principles that she keeps top of mind to make sure her team’s work in AI feels both future-facing and grounded. ➡️ Read the story: https://bit.ly/4fgdm54 #LifeAtMeta

We want to make it easier for more people to build with Llama — so today we’re releasing new quantized versions of Llama 3.2 1B & 3B that deliver up to 2-4x increases in inference speed and, on average, 56% reduction in model size, and 41% reduction in memory footprint. Details on our new quantized Llama 3.2 on-device models ➡️  https://lnkd.in/g7-Evr8H While quantized models have existed in the community before, these approaches often came at a tradeoff to performance and accuracy. To solve this, we performed Quantization-Aware Training with LoRA adaptors as opposed to only post-processing. As a result, our new models offer a reduced memory footprint, faster on-device inference, accuracy and portability — while maintaining quality and safety for developers to deploy on resource-constrained devices. The new models can be downloaded now from Meta and on Hugging Face — and are ready to deploy on even more mobile CPUs thanks to close work with Arm, MediaTek and Qualcomm. https://lnkd.in/g7-Evr8H

In celebration of National Disability Employment Awareness Month (#NDEAM), meet Daniel Maskit, a creative technologist on the Reality Labs team at Meta and one of our community leaders for Disability @, a Meta Employee Resource Group. “I think one of the big gaps within broader society, is people don't know much about different things like this. They hear your ADHD, they hear you're dyslexic, they hear you're autistic, and they don't know what that means. People may get uncomfortable because they feel like oh, that's personal. I don't want to ask about that. I'm not supposed to talk about that. But truthfully, people should talk about it. They're important conversations to have.” Thank you Daniel for your contributions to #LifeatMeta and for encouraging important conversations such as these.
