Using the Llama 2 learning language paradigm, Meta AI was introduced in September 2023 and is commemorating its first anniversary with major enhancements. To improve its capabilities, Meta has released Llama 3.1, a new language model, along with a new set of features for its AI helper.
Broadened Support for Language and Nation
One of the most intriguing changes is the increased accessibility of Meta AI. More nations, such as Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Cameroon, may now use the AI helper. With this, there are now 22 nations in which Meta AI is applicable. Additionally, a number of other languages are now supported by Meta AI, including French, German, Hindi, Hindi-Romanized Script, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. This increases the AI’s accessibility and inclusivity for non-native English speakers. It’s crucial to remember that some features could initially only be available in a few languages or geographical areas.
Introducing the Image Generator Tool “Imagine Me”
“Imagine Me,” a beta feature that is presently being pushed out in the US, is one of the new tools. With the help of this creative tool, users may create customized graphics in response to suggestions. Users may write phrases like “Imagine me surfing” or “Imagine me as a surrealist painting,” for instance, and the AI will utilize their photo to generate a unique image. Users may envision themselves in a variety of situations or artistic styles thanks to this function, which expands their creative options.
Improved Ability to Edit Images
Meta AI is bringing sophisticated picture editing capabilities in addition to image generation. It is now possible for users to alter, remove, or modify content from images. For example, using the “Imagine Me” feature, you can draw a picture of a duck, and then tell Meta AI to “Change the duck to a cat.” With the release of a new “Edit with AI” button the following month, users will have even more influence over the visual material they create.
Cross-Platform Integration
Additionally, Meta is incorporating AI-generated graphics into Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and other platforms. Soon, users will be able to easily create and share photos within messages, feeds, comments, and stories. This week, this functionality will go live in English, with more languages to follow.
Llama 3.1’s Launch
The release of Llama 3.1 405B, Meta’s most recent open-source AI model, is another noteworthy development. This robust model may be used to a range of activities on platforms such as meta.ai and WhatsApp, including coding and problem solving using math. Every two weeks, Meta promises to update its AI technology with new features and ongoing improvements.
Meta’s AI assistant is now much more accessible and functional thanks to recent improvements. With the inclusion of more languages, increased support for more countries, and cutting-edge technologies like “Imagine Me,” Meta AI is well-positioned to play an even bigger role in consumers’ digital experiences. The AI assistant will definitely get more adaptable and user-friendly as Meta releases updates and new capabilities, reaching a wider global audience.
