META LLAMA MODEL
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.9.9 update, we announced that WhatsApp started limited testing of Meta AI on WhatsApp in different countries. This new phase of testing aimed to further explore how users interact with Meta AI through its integration into the search bar for select users and an alternative entry point within the top app bar for users in India, while preserving privacy of these interactions. It appears that WhatsApp is now committed to further improving Meta AI through advanced models, as discovered in the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.14.7 update from the Google Play Store.
As you can see from the attached screenshot, WhatsApp is exploring a feature to allow users to choose which model to use for Meta Llama, scheduled for release in a future update of the app. This feature appears to be intended for AI conversations, as indicated in the description of the section. The default option is Llama 3-70B, but WhatsApp has plans to offer a preview of the latest Llama 3-405B model for handling more complex prompts in the future. It's important to note that the Llama 3-405B model will be available for a limited number of prompts each week. Once users reach this limit, they will be able to continue their conversation using the default model.
In our opinion, users will gain more control over their AI interactions by choosing which model to use based on their specific needs. This flexibility will allow users to tailor their experience, opting for the default model, Llama 3-70B, for quicker and simpler prompts or selecting the advanced Llama 3-405B model for more complex queries. Users will be able to leverage the faster response times of the default model for everyday use while choosing the latest model's advanced capabilities for more intricate tasks, ensuring they get the best possible assistance for any situation.
A feature to choose the Meta AI Llama model is under development and it will be available in a future update. We will keep you updated with an additional article as soon as we have more details to share about this feature.
