Natural Language Processing (NLP) enables AI systems to process and interpret human language, making interactions more seamless and intelligent. It allows AI to analyze text, recognize speech, translate languages, and extract meaningful insights from unstructured data. Businesses use NLP to enhance customer support, improve search engines, and automate workflows.
Meta just launched the Llama API in preview at its first-ever LlamaCon. It offers easy API access, interactive playgrounds, and SDKs for Python and TypeScript to build with Llama models like Llama 4 Scout and Maverick. Developers can fine-tune models, run evaluations, and even use fast inference through Cerebras and Groq—all while keeping control of their weights and data.
Generative AI continues to rapidly evolve, reshaping how industries create, operate, and engage with users. As new tools and capabilities emerge, they are redefining software development, customer service, and creative workflows. From smaller, more efficient models to agentic systems capable of autonomous decision-making, the possibilities are expanding quickly.
