According to a leaked Meta roadmap, the company plans to release a new pair of Ray-Ban smart glasses next year which would add a small built-in screen alongside its existing camera, speaker and microphone. Meta will likely discuss ways it’s improving those existing features by implementing its Llama 3.1 large language model(LLM), which it’s positioning as an open source competitor to Google and OpenAI’s LLMs.
