Chameleon, Meta's new multimodal language model, uses early fusion to generate documents with text, code, and images interleaved.

Meta has unveiled a family of multimodal AI models that seamlessly integrate visual and textual information. Developed by Meta’s Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) team, Chameleon is designed to perform a range of tasks, including answering questions about visuals and generating image captions.

AI researchers at Meta, the company that owns Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and many other products, have designed and built a multimodal model to compete with the likes of Google's Gemini.
