On Tuesday, Meta announced Llama 3.1, the latest open-source large language model.

Besides the ability to understand and respond in different languages, Meta AI on WhatsApp has also gained new capabilities, including the ability to edit images, where AI can help users remove or replace the background of an image, remove certain objects from the image, and the ability to generate similar AI images.

Unlike some of the AI models, which require an active subscription to access similar capabilities, WhatsApp users can experience these features for free. However, right now, the image edit capability is only available in English, and more languages will follow soon. These experiences are powered by the Llama 3.1 model.

Imagine Yourself is another new feature of the Meta AI on WhatsApp, which allows users to tweak their own images using text prompts like “imagine me with green hair,” “imagine me with tattoos,” “imagine me in an 80s movie,” and more. For now, this feature is limited to WhatsApp users in the US in English and will be expanded to more languages and more countries in the coming days.

Images generated or edited using Meta AI on WhatsApp will be watermarked to help users distinguish between human and AI-generated images.

Besides WhatsApp, Meta AI is also available on Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger. With the latest update, one can access the latest Llama 3.1 model with 405 billion parameters on Meta.ai. Developers can also download the Llama 3.1 model and train it with their own data for free.
