Exciting Updates in Latest WhatsApp Version
A major new WhatsApp update will soon introduce a range of innovative AI features to its vast user base. This update is part of WhatsApp's integration with Meta AI, which aims to provide advanced artificial intelligence capabilities similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT within Meta's suite of applications.
Personalised Image Generation
One of the most significant changes in this update is the addition of personalised image generation. This feature leverages generative AI to create or modify images based on simple text prompts. Users can now envision themselves as superheroes or experiment with different styles by typing 'Imagine me' in chats with Meta AI. Following a quick setup process, users can input prompts like 'Imagine me in a retro pink and green ski outfit,' and Meta AI will generate a personalized image accordingly.
The latest update is currently exclusive to English-speaking beta testers in the US, with plans for a wider rollout to other languages and regions in the near future.
Enhanced AI Capabilities
WhatsApp's integration with Meta AI has already introduced various AI features, such as the ability to interact with AI chatbots. Meta's broader AI update includes expanding the assistant's capabilities to seven additional languages across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp. The AI technology is powered by Meta's latest Llama 405B model, equipped with enhanced reasoning abilities suitable for fields like mathematics and coding.
Open Source Initiative
Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, announced that the new Llama AI model will be open source, contrary to the industry trend set by OpenAI. Zuckerberg emphasized the importance of open source in ensuring a positive AI future, enabling broader access to AI benefits and opportunities worldwide.
According to Zuckerberg, open source AI technology can drive human productivity, creativity, economic growth, and advancements in various domains like medical and scientific research. By democratizing AI accessibility, power can be decentralized, promoting a more equitable and safe deployment of the technology across societies.
