Meta announces Llama 4 artificial intelligence model
The highlight of the event was the Llama 4 model series, which is at the centre of Meta’s open source AI strategy. The two variants, codenamed ‘Scout’ and ‘Maverick’, offer improvements such as multiple modes that can process text and visual inputs simultaneously, long context window support, enhanced reasoning capabilities and summarisation capacity.
Meta announced that Llama 4 will be fully open source and freely available. This step will put the company in direct competition with OpenAI’s GPT-4 and Anthropic’s Claude models.
The highly anticipated new Citroen C5 Aircross was officially announced. The vehicle attracts attention with its innovative features.
Meta also unveiled its new artificial intelligence project ‘Behemoth’ at the event. With 288 billion active parameters, Behemoth is the largest model Meta has ever developed. Detailed technical specifications of this technology have not yet been shared.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella discussed the future of open source artificial intelligence systems, ethical principles and supporting independent developers.
In an increasingly competitive environment in the field of artificial intelligence, it will be clear in the coming period how these strategic steps taken by Meta will create a transformation in the sector.
