Meta has announced that it has developed its own artificial intelligence technology, capable of creating images of stunning quality from simple written prompts. In doing so, the American tech giant is entering a field that has gained considerable momentum in recent months, with the emergence of tools such as Dall-E and Midjourney, and the development of Adobe Firefly.

Having recently made headlines with the launch of its Twitter rival, Threads, Meta has now presented its latest project, CM3Leon. Behind this strange-looking name (pronounced "chameleon") lies a new image-generating artificial intelligence technology.
