GPT, Gemini or both? What is the Meta AI language model in WhatsApp?

Meta AI, an artificial intelligence tool developed by the owner of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, is already fully operational in Brazil. The service can be found both in the company’s applications and on its official website.

You access the platform from a shortcut that acts like a search bar or contact in your messaging app. Is this possible Ask the chatbot to compose text or images, make suggestions, or just chat With real-time answers on almost any topic.

Despite the many possibilities, the service has become a joke in Brazil due to hallucinations, inaccuracies and the creation of images that are literally understood by the robot.

Due to both bugs and successes, the question may arise among the public most interested in this field: After all, what is the language model that the tool uses and what exactly can it do?

Language model or chatbot

Before moving on to the explanation of Meta AI, it is important to distinguish the concepts. Although the two names come together in the field of artificial intelligence, the chatbot is different from the language model.

You Large Language Models (or Master in its original abbreviation) these are the basis of modern artificial intelligence. These consist of algorithms, parameters, and a huge database that allows a system to become more efficient over time through machine learning.

A large language model fed with knowledge and trained to perform specific taskshow to render text, images, audio or videos, as well as interact with the user’s commands in the most natural way possible.

The more complex the Master and the larger the database, the more functions it can perform with progressive quality results.

Chatbot, on the other hand, It is the artificial intelligence service itself with an interface for interaction and display of content. It is usually accessed through an app for mobile devices, desktop or a web version for browsers.

ChatGPT, for example, is OpenAI’s chatbot. right now he Works from GPT-4o mini language model in the free version – started with the GPT-3.5 update at the end of 2022, but has been improved over time.

In some cases, chatbot and LLM can have the same name: This is one that is only improving in numbers and currently stands at 3.5. This is the case of Claude from Anthropic.

What is the Meta AI language model?

Meta AI and all other services from the company headed by Mark Zuckerberg Use Llama 3 language model, It is one of the latest versions of LLM developed by Meta himself.

There is a possibility of reaching this model 400 billion parametersOne Pre-trained and fine-tuned performance based on previous models and at the community reception.

besides being multilingual and multimodal — that is, dealing with multiple languages ​​and content formats, from text to visual — Llama 3 Has a relative ability to reason and generate code.

HE fueled by content from the internet itself, Help from search engines like Bing And user posts on social networks Like Instagram. Due to this last element, the resource arrived in Brazil late and was temporarily suspended due to Meta’s failure to properly inform the public about the use of this information.
