Meta has revealed Meta Motivo AI, a cutting-edge solution to bring unprecedented realism to Metaverse avatars. This breakthrough reflects Meta's bold investments in AI and immersive technology, aiming to transform virtual experiences.
Meta Introduces Meta Motivo to Enhance Metaverse Avatars
On Thursday, Meta announced the release of Meta Motivo, an AI model that might improve the Metaverse experience by controlling the actions of a digital agent that resembles a human, Reuters shares.
The corporation is expected to spend between $37 billion and $40 billion on capital expenditures in 2024, a record high, due to its heavy investment in Metaverse technology, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence.
Meta also believes that an open approach could help its business by encouraging the invention of better tools for its services, therefore it has been providing many of its AI models for free usage by developers.
"We believe this research could pave the way for fully embodied agents in the Metaverse, leading to more lifelike NPCs, democratization of character animation, and new types of immersive experiences," according to a statement from the business.
Solving Avatar Challenges with Meta Motivo
According to the business, Meta Motivo solves the issue of digital avatars' lack of control over their bodies, allowing them to act more naturally and realistically, per Yahoo Finance.
To further "decouple reasoning from language representation," Meta also announced the introduction of the Large Concept Model (LCM), an alternative training model for language modeling.
"The LCM is a significant departure from a typical LLM. Rather than predicting the next token, the LCM is trained to predict the next concept or high-level idea, represented by a full sentence in a multimodal and multilingual embedding space," the business explained.
Meta’s AI Innovations Include Video Seal Technology
Meta has produced a number of AI tools, one of which is the Video Seal, which adds a concealed watermark to videos that is both unnoticeable and traceable.
