Model Detail
Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct
▼ 5.4%Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct is a large language model with 8B parameters released by Meta. The model is registered under the text-generation pipeline tag on Hugging Face, and supports text->text inputs, released under the llama3 license.
Open-LLM-Leaderboard scoring places it at MMLU-Pro 29, GPQA 6, IFEval 48, BBH 27, giving a sense of how it handles instruction following, reasoning, and graduate-level QA in absolute terms.
Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct is priced at $0.15/M input tokens and $0.15/M output tokens. Operationally the model offers a 8K-token context window, which matters when sizing it for prompt-heavy or latency-sensitive workloads. At this input rate the model sits in the commodity tier and is suitable for high-volume workloads where per-call cost dominates the decision.
Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct ships as a LlamaForCausalLM / 💬 chat models (RLHF, DPO, IFT, ...) architecture with 8B parameters. The published knowledge cutoff is 2023-12-31, so newer events will not be reflected in zero-shot answers without retrieval. Total weight footprint is approximately 8.0 GB, which is the relevant figure when planning local-inference VRAM. Access is gated on Hugging Face under the llama3 license, which means a manual approval step before weights can be downloaded.
Downloads of Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct have moved -5.4% over the past 24 hours, -29.1% over the trailing seven days. The decline is steep, which typically signals a newer release displacing this checkpoint or a known issue surfacing in the community. These numbers are signal, not guarantee — week-over-week download counts on Hugging Face also reflect mirror traffic, CI scrapes, and one-off benchmarking runs.
Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct is best fit for general-purpose chat and instruction-following workloads, and high-volume batch jobs where per-call cost dominates the budget. Treat this as a starting matrix rather than a benchmark verdict — the right deployment usually depends on the specific evaluation suite that mirrors your workload.
Meta pauses Muse sharing after researchers find AI chats on the web
Meta says it paused a Muse feature that lets you share conversations with the AI assistant after researchers found the URLs publicly available on the web, as reported by Ars Technica. In a report published this week, researchers at the security firm Claroc say they found more than 6,800 Muse links t
Meta’s Muse hits 10M U.S. downloads in 40 days, a milestone reached by only 11 other apps
Meta's AI companion Muse has surpassed 10 million U.S. downloads in its first 40 days, joining an exclusive group of apps that includes Threads. New data also shows Muse is retaining users at higher rates than its AI rivals.
RubricEM: Meta-RL with Rubric-guided Policy Decomposition beyond Verifiable Rewards
arXiv:2605.10899v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Deep research agents plan, search, evaluate evidence, and synthesize long-form reports. Training these agents with reinforcement learning (RL) is challenging because they operate over long horizons and their outputs lack exact answer verifiers. To
Meta removes language that raised scraping and AI training concerns
A Meta spokesperson insisted that the updated terms did not reflect a change in the way Meta crawls the web.
Meta removes language that may have allowed it to scrape news sites

Meta’s new terms may allow it to train AI on news sites for free
Meta's new terms appear to give it permission to crawl and scrape websites "associated" with the businesses that use its platforms - including online publishers, according to a report from Nieman Lab. The new terms, which go into effect on October 30th, say Meta can use this outside content to "deve
