The Llama 3-70B model is designed for quicker, simpler interactions, while the more advanced Llama 3-405B model, available for a limited number of weekly prompts, handles more complex queries.
WABetaInfo, a popular WhatsApp feature tracker, discovered this upcoming feature in WhatsApp for Android beta version 2.24.14.7.

The menu indicates that the Llama 3-70B model is “faster,” and the 3-405B model is “better for more complex prompts.”
The feature notes: “Preview the 405B model for a limited number of weekly prompts. After reaching your limit, use the 70B model to continue conversations.”
Although Meta released the 8B and 70B models in April, the 405B model is still in training. Meta plans to fine-tune the 405B model based on user interactions. This new feature is expected to significantly enhance the user experience on WhatsApp by providing more tailored and effective AI interactions.
Additionally, WhatsApp is exploring a video reply option, a departure from its text and voice chatting features. The discovery in WhatsApp for Android beta version 2.24.14.5 indicates the platform’s trend toward interactive and intuitive communications.

Users are advised to check the list to see if their smartphone is impacted. Despite their age, some people continue to use old smartphones and tablets because of their good hardware.
However, WhatsApp recommends using Android 5.0 and iOS 12 or newer for continued access to its services, ensuring safe and efficient messaging online.
