Meta AI will be available on Quest headsets in the US and Canada as an experimental feature in August, and will include the Vision capability on Quest 3. Meta AI is the company's conversational AI assistant powered by its Llama series of open-source large language models (LLMs). In the US & Canada, Meta AI is currently available in text form on the web at meta.ai or in the WhatsApp and Messenger phone apps, and in audio form on Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses via saying "Hey Meta".

My thoughts on this are WOW this is going to be an incredible invasion of privacy. Meta is going to have an AI that is able to see your surroundings and understanding them. It would seem they could ask the AIs of everyone using a Quest 3 and find out almost any personal detail about the space they are in.

Running locally a LLM is quite the task, and the Quest 3 is way underspecced to do what’s being added. It’ll be the usual sending a picture with a request, having the servers process it and then receiving a response… so while I don’t have any doubt they’ll use all data they receive, the device itself isn’t going to do anything aside from sending pictures.

Very glad to hear this.

If you happen to have an iPhone and want to get a sense of how difficult to run are LLM on a mobile device, there’s a free app https://apps.apple.com/app/id6497060890 that allows just that. If your device has at least 8gb of memory then it will even show the most basic version of LLaMa (just text there), and since everything is done on device, you can even try it in airplane mode. Less meaningful would be running it on a computer, for that I suggest https://lmstudio.ai/ that is very easy to use.
