Meta just announced its first-ever LlamaCon<\/ins><\/a>, a dev conference dedicated to generative AI. It\u2019s scheduled for April 29. Why the llama-based naming convention? The company titled the event after its family of generative AI models<\/ins><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meta promises to \u201cshare the latest on our open source AI developments to help developers do what they do best: build amazing apps and products.\u201d Beyond that vague description, we don\u2019t know much. There\u2019s no information regarding speakers or potential products being shown. We know that the company\u2019s working on Llama 4<\/ins><\/a>, with an early 2025 release window, so we\u2019ll most likely get a sizzle reel of some kind.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The company notes it\u2019ll have more to share about LlamaCon \u201cin the coming weeks.\u201d Meta also says that \u201c2025 is shaping up to be another banger\u201d of a year. To that end, it has scheduled the next major Connect event for September 17. It promises plenty of reveals that should please \u201cvirtual and mixed reality developers, content creators, metaverse mavens and AI glasses enthusiasts.\u201d Meta Connect 2024 gave us the Quest 3S<\/ins><\/a> and the fancy-pants Orion prototype AR glasses<\/ins><\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to <\/ins>TechCrunch<\/ins><\/em><\/a>, Meta has been scrambling to figure out how AI rival DeepSeek has managed to create tech that rivals its own at a fraction of the development cost<\/ins><\/a>. The report suggests that DeepSeek\u2019s upcoming models could outperform the aforementioned Llama 4. The company\u2019s also currently embroiled in a lawsuit<\/ins><\/a> that accuses it of training Llama models on copyrighted book materials without permission.<\/p>\n
