These newer AI models process not only text but also images and audio, and power AI capabilities across Meta\u2019s platforms. Meta\u2019s move follows a similar decision by Apple, which recently announced it would not release its Apple Intelligence features in Europe due to regulatory concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Meta told <em>Axios<\/em> it still plans to release Llama 3, the company\u2019s text-only model, in the EU. The company\u2019s primary concern stems from the challenges of training AI models using data from European customers while complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the EU\u2019s data protection law. That said, Meta still plans to launch these new AI models in the UK, which has similar data protection laws to the EU.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mat Smith<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"caas-jump-link-heading\" id=\"the-biggest-stories-you-might-have-missed\">The biggest stories you might have missed<\/h3>\n<p><a data-i13n=\"cpos:2;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/best-ssds-140014262.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:The best SSDs in 2024;cpos:2;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The best SSDs in 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a data-i13n=\"cpos:3;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/ea-sports-fc-25-brings-womens-soccer-to-the-career-modes-for-the-first-time-160013124.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:EA Sports FC 25 brings women\u2019s soccer to the career modes for the first time;cpos:3;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">EA Sports FC 25 brings women\u2019s soccer to the career modes for the first time<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a data-i13n=\"cpos:4;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/fallouts-16-emmy-nominations-show-that-successful-gaming-adaptations-are-no-longer-a-fluke-175555108.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Fallout\u2019s Emmy nominations show that successful gaming adaptations are no longer a fluke;cpos:4;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Fallout\u2019s Emmy nominations show that successful gaming adaptations are no longer a fluke<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u200b\u200b<em>You can get these reports delivered daily direct to your inbox. <\/em><a data-i13n=\"cpos:5;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/about\/newsletter\/\" data-ylk=\"slk:Subscribe right here!;cpos:5;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><em>Subscribe right here!<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"caas-jump-link-heading\" id=\"55-hours-of-battery-life-for-500\">55 hours of battery life for $500.<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"caas-figure\">\n<div class=\"caas-figure-with-pb\" style=\"max-height: 427px\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"caas-img-container caas-img-loader\" style=\"padding-bottom:67%\"><a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/dysons-ontrac-headphones-ditch-the-zones-air-purifier-for-audio-only-use-040044551.html\" data-ylk=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"caas-img caas-lazy\" alt=\"TMA\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/UrffgkGN.U2RjQVfeubOwg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MQ--\/https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/os\/creatr-uploaded-images\/2024-07\/0109bd30-44f0-11ef-abfa-46a8f317fa76\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"TMA\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/UrffgkGN.U2RjQVfeubOwg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MQ--\/https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/os\/creatr-uploaded-images\/2024-07\/0109bd30-44f0-11ef-abfa-46a8f317fa76\" class=\"caas-img\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><figcaption class=\"caption-collapse\"><span class=\"caption-credit\"> Dyson<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>In early 2022, Dyson combined its air filtration expertise with noise-canceling headphones.
