Llama 3.2 is out, and it's a much more substantial release than the 3.1 to 3.2 version bump might indicate

Four new models, including Meta's first two vision models (11B and 90B) and two new text-only small models (1B and 3B)

You can try out the vision models on lmarena.ai/ by navigating to "Direct Chat" and then selecting those models from the dropdown menu

A photo of two capybaras

Prompt: Describe this photo in detail

The image depicts two capybaras standing in a body of water, with one positioned on the edge of a metal grate. The capybara on the right is partially submerged in the water, while the other is standing on the grate.

Key Features:

    Capybaras: Two capybaras are visible in the image.
    Water: The capybaras are standing in a body of water, which appears to be murky or dirty.
    Metal Grate: A metal grate is visible at the bottom right of the image, with one capybara standing on it.
    Background: The background of the image is not clearly visible due to the presence of the water and the capybaras.

@simon That's impressive - I struggled to work out what the photo was. Had to zoom right in before I realised they were in water.

I've been trying out the tiny Llama 3.2 1B model (a 1.3GB download - I used Ollama and ran "ollama run llama3.2:1b" to install it) and it is WILDLY impressive for a model of that size.

files-to-prompt **/*.py -c | llm -m llama3.2:1b --system 'describe this code'

I ran this against my entire github.com/simonw/djp codebase and the result I got was incomplete but still surprisingly useful gist.github.com/simonw/64c5f5b

Nice. The 1b model didn't understand some coding tasks I gave it, but I did find it fun to play a game with. It's so fast and fluid.

$ ollama run llama3.2:1b

Grrraaah... Hsss... Ugggh. Grrr... *pounds chest*

Rrrrraaagh! Hsssssss... GrrrRRRAAAAHHH!!! *growls and advances, snarling*
