Meta is shaking things up in the AI world with the introduction of its new open-source AI models, Llama 4. These first releases are part of Meta’s ambitious plan to take a leading role in the ever-evolving generative AI space. However, the most advanced version of Llama 4 is still in the wings, poised to set new benchmarks and guide the development of future models.
For now, you can get your hands on two of the latest Llama 4 models, Scout and Maverick. They’re available across popular platforms like WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram Direct, and the Meta AI website. Meta’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has shared the company’s vision in a more personal tone. In an Instagram video, he states, “Our goal is to build the world’s leading AI, open source it, and make it universally accessible so that everyone in the world benefits.” It’s an exciting time to be part of this journey.
Looking ahead, Meta is gearing up to host its first-ever LlamaCon AI conference on April 29. This event promises to be an exciting opportunity for AI enthusiasts and professionals alike to dive deeper into the innovations Meta is bringing to the table. Additionally, keep an eye out for a new dedicated app for Meta’s AI chatbot, expected to roll out in the second quarter. This development was hinted at in a CNBC report earlier this year.
Stay tuned for more updates and innovations as Meta continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in AI.
