There is a potential world where Meta uses AI as a vector to tap into the home. Like, literally building smart homes. Locally intelligent in ways that enable truly magical smart home experiences while preserving privacy and building trust. But connected in ways that facilitate pseudo-social interactions, entertainment, and commerce. Meta's biggest competitors are Apple and Amazon. This is the first clear opportunity…

I'm earnestly not sure what Meta are less qualified for. Building physical homes or building privacy & trust.

SAM 3 (Segment Anything Model) is coming this summer

SAM's a really cool model, that's something to look forward to. I didn't see that in the LlamaCon notes, is that something they've announced elsewhere or just a rumor atm?

It was mentioned briefly. https://ai.meta.com/sam3

No new model? Maybe after the Qwen 3 release today they decided to hold back on Llama 4 Thinking until it benchmarks more competitively.

Beyond solid benchmarks, Alibaba's power move was dropping a bunch of models available to use and run locally today. That's disruptive already and the slew of fine tunes to come will be good for all users and builders.

What's the minimum GPU/NPU hardware and memory to run Qwen3 locally?

Feels like Meta is going to Cloud services business but in AI domain. They resisted entering cloud business for so long, with the success of AWS/Azure/GCP I think they are realizing they can't keep at the top only with social networks without owning a platform (hardware, cloud)

They seem to see tge writing on the wall and have been panicked for a while, yes. Gobbling up rising brands kept their finances going for a while, but the grand Metaverse pivot was clearly their (much struggling) attempt to invent their own titanic platform akin to Android or iPhone. With that not gaining as much traction as they wanted as quickly as they wanted, they're still on the hunt, as here.

The metaverse is a great idea but they should have partnered with Epic for this or Valve. The implementation was subpar

Qwen3 is a family of models, the very smallest are only a few GB and will run comfortably on virtually any computer of the last 10 years or recent-ish smart phone. The largest - well, depends how fast you want it to run.

There is a 0.6B model so basically nothing.

And the MoE 30B one has a decent shot at running OK without GPU. I'm on a 5800x3d so two generations old and its still very usable
