On July 23, Meta unveiled the latest generation of its Llama 3.1 foundational AI models. During this routine upgrade, Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg highlighted the company's commitment to expanding localized and vernacular use cases and promoting open-source development to attract enterprises.

Industry experts believe this approach could help Meta effectively compete with OpenAI’s generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) AI models, which are widely regarded as the leading foundational AI platform globally.

Meta has introduced several updates to Meta AI on WhatsApp, now available in 22 countries. The updated AI supports multiple languages, including Hindi, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish, enabling it to understand and respond in these languages.

In addition to multilingual capabilities, Meta AI on WhatsApp has gained new features. These include the ability to edit images by removing or replacing backgrounds, removing certain objects, and generating similar AI images.
