A few months ago, the arrival of the artificial intelligence model (named Llama) that would be installed in WhatsApp had already been announced. Shortly after, news began to arrive about what capabilities it would have, but Until now it had not reached mobile phones.
The first version we had was that would be able to edit users’ profile photos through the “Imagine Me” feature which allows you to generate AI avatars. For example, we could ask it to change our hair color, add accessories or edit our image with different styles: comic, Renaissance painting, pop…
It would also allow for the realization queries to Meta AI via the search bara feature designed to integrate suggestions and prompts to facilitate user interaction with Meta AI.
These options would give users more control over their interactions with AI by allowing them to select from different AI models based on their specific needs. Whether for basic questions or advanced tasks. And WhatsApp is already testing this feature with usersat least with a limited number of beta testers. To find out if you’re among the lucky ones, you need to update your WhatsApp version on the Google Play Store.
As you can see in the screenshot, some users may experiment with a new section within the Meta AI chatbot settings to choose the preferred Llama model. The default option is Call 3-70B, which is the most suitable model for faster and simpler indications. In addition, it is possible to opt for the Llama 3-405B model, more advanced and designed to handle more complex queriesThe key is in the type of questions we ask and the time we have to wait for an answer.
This approach allows users to leverage the strengths of both models effectively: selecting the advanced model for complex queries and efficiently addressing everyday needs with the default option. By providing this flexibility, users can optimize their interactions with Meta AI according to their specific requirements and preferences. This strategy also helps balance the high demand for the advanced model with practical, everyday usage. Users can focus on complex tasks when needed while enjoying reliable, advanced assistance for routine interactions, improving the overall efficiency of their interactions with Meta AI. What is not known for now is How easy or difficult it will be to switch between the two modelssince everything indicates that we must select one of them before making a query. What is known is that in the next few days it will be available to more and more users.
