Meta’s next Llama models may have upgraded voice features


Meta's next major 'open' AI model may have a voice focus, per a report in Financial Times.

According to the piece, Meta is planning to introduce improved voice features with Llama 4, the next flagship in its Llama model family, which is expected to arrive in “weeks.” Reportedly, Meta has been particularly focused on allowing users to interrupt the model mid-speech, similar to OpenAI’s Voice Mode for ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini Live experience. In comments this week at a Morgan Stanley conference, Meta chief product officer Chris Cox said that Llama 4 will be an “omni” model, capable of natively interpreting and outputting speech as well as text and other types of data. Meta is said to have scrambled to set up war rooms to decipher how DeepSeek lowered the cost of running and deploying models.
