Meta will not release the multimodal versions of its AI products and models in the EU
The reason Meta says is because of an unpredictable regulatory environment. It means EU users of Llama-3 (Ray-Ban Meta) will not have access to future multimodal versions of Llama-3 and won't be able to use the image understanding features.
