Meta announces LlamaCon, its first generative AI dev conference


Meta on Tuesday announced that it'll host its first-ever dev conference dedicated to generative AI.

Reportedly, Meta believes that one of DeepSeek’s newer models could outperform the next version of Llama, which is set to be released in the coming weeks. Meta is said to have scrambled war rooms to decipher how DeepSeek lowered the cost of running and deploying models to apply those learnings to Llama development. In another challenge to Meta’s Llama ambitions, several EU countries have forced the company to postpone — and in some cases cancel altogether — its model launch plans over data privacy concerns.
