Meta debuts new Llama 4 models, but most powerful AI model is still...
Meta recently unveiled the first models from its latest open-source artificial intelligence software, Llama 4. The company is eager to establish itself as a frontrunner in the development of generative AI technologies. While the initial models have been released, Meta has indicated that the most potent Llama 4 model has yet to be made available. This superior model not only outperforms its peers but also serves as a guiding force for the new models being developed by the company.
The highly-anticipated Llama 4 Behemoth model is currently undergoing training, as mentioned in Meta's blog post. According to Meta, this model boasts exceptional capabilities that set it apart from other AI models in its class.
Empowering AI Agents with Llama 4
Meta's Chief Product Officer, Chris Cox, stated in March that the Llama 4 models will play a crucial role in powering AI agents capable of advanced reasoning and decision-making. These AI agents are designed to navigate the internet and perform a wide range of tasks beneficial to both consumers and businesses.
Users can now experience the functionalities of two newly released Llama 4 models, namely Llama 4 Scout and Llama 4 Maverick, on Meta AI integrated platforms such as WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram Direct, or the Meta AI website.
Advancing AI Accessibility
Meta's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, expressed his vision of democratizing AI technology and making it universally accessible for the benefit of all. In a video shared on Instagram, Zuckerberg emphasized the importance of open-sourcing AI models, with Llama 4 leading the way in this endeavor. The Meta AI platform is set to receive significant enhancements, marking a key milestone in the evolution of AI technologies.
Upcoming Developments
Meta is gearing up to host its inaugural LlamaCon AI conference on April 29, where industry experts and enthusiasts will convene to explore the latest trends in AI innovation. Additionally, the company is poised to launch a dedicated app for its Meta AI chatbot in the second quarter of this year, as reported by CNBC in February.
