Meta Will Keep Its Multimodal AI Models Out of Europe 🚨
Meta announced it will not release its upcoming multimodal AI model, Llama, or any future models in the European Union because of "a lack of clarity from regulators."
Details:
These multimodal models are planned for integration into various products, including smartphones and Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses.
Meta's decision means European companies and customers cannot use these models, even under open licenses, potentially limiting offerings from outside the EU as well.
Meta's issue lies in how it can train models using data from European customers while complying with GDPR, the EU's existing data protection law. The company considers the use of this data as essential for delivering high-quality products.
Despite similar regulations, Meta plans to launch its new model in the UK, where it faces less regulatory uncertainty.
This move highlights the increasing friction between tech companies and European regulators.

WORLD LABS
‘Godmother of A.I.’ Has Created a $1B Startup in Less Than 4 Months
Fei-Fei Li, known as the “godmother of AI,” has launched World Labs, a startup that has already reached a $1 billion valuation in just four months, according to the Financial Times.
Details:
World Labs aims to utilize human-like processing of visual data to enable AI to perform advanced reasoning.
The startup secured backing from major investors like Andreessen Horowitz and Radical Ventures.
It is developing models that understand the three-dimensional physical world, focusing on spatial intelligence to enhance fields like robotics, augmented reality, and virtual reality.
If successful, the advancements from World Labs could significantly transform industries such as healthcare and manufacturing by improving AI’s ability to interpret and act upon visual information.
The investment in World Labs reflects a trend where venture capitalists eagerly support ambitious AI companies, hoping they will replicate the success of OpenAI, which achieved a valuation exceeding $80 billion in a very short time.

Create simple apps with text prompts
Here's how you can generate a fully functional web app from a single prompt in just minutes:
Visit Marblism’s website and log in. You will receive credits.
Write a text prompt describing the app you want to build. For example, you could use: "A social app like Instagram where people can post photos, comment, and like each other."
Enter the project name, type, description, and theme, then click on “Next“.
A page will appear showing the app description and the pages it will contain. Click on “Add new pages” at the bottom if you want to add a page. When you are done, click “Next“ again.
You will get AI-generated database tables, which you can edit by clicking the "Change Something" button at the bottom.
Click "Next" and wait a few minutes for your app to generate.
Click on "Launch Workspace," then "Go to Your Workspace."
Marblism will provide a basic version of the app. You can preview it, further modify it, upload mockups, or download the code.
