US WhatsApp users may now take advantage of Meta's real-time AI image-generating feature, which is currently in beta. This element lets users see picture transformations while entering text-to-image suggestions in chats with Meta AI.
Meta demonstrated how typing "Imagine a soccer game on Mars" transforms the image from a soccer player to a Martian soccer field. Users in the beta may try the functionality by chatting with Meta AI and saying, "Imagine," according to The Verge.
In addition to WhatsApp, US users may utilize Meta AI on the web to generate images in real time. This rollout is part of Meta's plan to add AI to WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger. Users may also ask Meta AI to animate the photographs they submit, letting them make GIFs they can share with friends.
This development comes as Meta Platforms officially launches the Meta AI Assistant, powered by Llama 3, as its latest AI breakthrough.
Llama 3-Powered Meta AI Assistant Now Available
Meta Platforms, which owns Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger, has published early versions of Llama 3, its newest huge language model and a real-time picture generator.
TechTimes reported that Meta's latest service has a standalone website, similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini. Meta AI targets to expand to over a dozen markets, including Australia, Canada, Singapore, Nigeria, and Pakistan. However, strict privacy restrictions make Europe challenging to navigate.
Across Meta's app ecosystem, Meta AI can perform tasks and access real-time feeds, conversations, and search functionalities. Moreover, the tech giant focuses on high-quality and synthetic data to train Llama 3 to improve performance over prior iterations.
Mark Zuckerberg, Meta's CEO, says Llama 3's biggest version contains 400 billion parameters and scores 85 MMLU, an AI model performance indicator. The release expands Meta AI's capabilities by introducing smaller versions with 8 billion and 70 billion parameters.
Zuckerberg announced Meta AI as the "most intelligent AI assistant" for free, encouraging user feedback to improve innovation and pleasure.
Meta Investing More on AI
Last month, Meta CEO Tom Alison said that AI will curate Facebook users' video streams. Meta invests considerably in AI development to fuel Facebook's video recommendation engine across platforms.
At Morgan Stanley's technological and media telecom conference, Alison disclosed that Meta's technological strategy for the next two years includes AI projects. An AI recommendation methodology will power the company's conventional movies and TikTok-like Reels short video services.
Meta used separate AI models for reels, groups, and the main Facebook feed. According to Alison, films with a new AI model tested solely on Facebook reels last year gained 8-10% views. Data management was more efficient using the large-scale AI model.
The Meta executive remarked that the firm aims to turn the new AI model architecture into a video recommendation engine that can handle more data and improve learning in its third phase. Alison said consumers may watch a reel and then seamlessly return to their news stream. The AI engine will then recommend related material for a more personalized experience.
