🖼️ Tool Name:
CM3leon (by Meta)

🔖 Tool Category:
Text and Images to Video / Text to Image Generation (falls under multimodal generative AI, combining text and image generation)

✏️ What does this tool offer?
CM3leon is a retrieval-augmented, decoder-only, multimodal language model developed by Meta. It can generate and infill both text and images, respond to image-based prompts, and perform tasks like image captioning, visual question answering, and image editing. 

⭐ What does the tool actually deliver based on user experience?
• Text-to-image generation with strong quality using less compute than comparable models. 
• Image captioning, interpreting and describing images. 
• Image-based prompting and infilling (i.e. completing or editing image based on text or partial images) 
• Instruction tuning across multimodal tasks, giving it flexibility to follow prompts mixing text and images. 

🤖 Does it include automation?
Yes — CM3leon automates:
• Generation of images from text prompts and vice versa. 
• Retrieval-augmented pretraining to fetch relevant image/text context automatically during generation. 
• Instruction-based fine-tuning so that it can follow complex multimodal commands. 

💰 Pricing Model:
Not publicly detailed (research model by Meta)

🆓 Free Plan Details:
Not applicable in the same sense — it's currently a research model rather than a commercial service

💳 Paid Plan Details:
Not applicable (as above)

🧭 Access Method:
• Via Meta’s research release / APIs if made available (Meta has published the paper and architecture). 
• Open-source implementation by community (for experimentation and research) is available on GitHub.
