New Delhi (India), 20th April 2023: Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, recently announced the availability of new features for Instagram creators as well as open source AI tools like the DINOv2 model and an animated drawings data set for users.
The data set contains 180,000 annotated amateur drawings that are intended to assist scholars studying animation. In a video that he posted, Mr. Zuckerberg’s little daughter’s hand-drawn characters could be seen swinging and dancing on a green background.
The AI model DINOv2 would be made open source, according to the Meta chief. Visual tasks that DINOv2 includes will aid in evaluating the sizes of objects in photographs.
Zuckerberg said, “For example, we used it to map forest canopy height across different continents using satellite imagery. In the future, this could help improve medical imaging, food crop growth, and help make the metaverse more immersive.”
In addition, he unveiled new tools that will make it simpler for Instagram creators to locate popular sounds and hashtags. Connecting with fans and followers who had sent gifts was another aspect of the announcement. According to the Meta chief, the gift-giving feature will be available in the UK, France, Canada, and other nations.
Separately, content producers will have access to more details regarding the performance of their Reels on Instagram.
