Menlo Park, CA, February 17, 2025 – Meta has announced its inaugural LlamaCon, a developer-focused conference dedicated to generative AI, scheduled for April 29.
While few details have been released regarding speakers or specific product demonstrations, industry observers anticipate that the event may include previews or a sizzle reel of Llama 4, which is slated for an early 2025 release. Meta has indicated that additional information about LlamaCon will be shared in the coming weeks.
In related news, Meta also confirmed plans for its next major Connect event on September 17, which promises a range of new announcements for virtual and mixed reality developers, content creators, metaverse enthusiasts, and AI glasses users. This follows the success of Meta Connect 2024, which featured the Quest 3S and Orion prototype AR glasses.
The move comes amid heightened competition in the generative AI space. According to TechCrunch, Meta is actively assessing how rival firm DeepSeek has managed to develop competitive technology at a lower cost, with reports suggesting that DeepSeek’s upcoming models might challenge the performance of Llama 4. Additionally, Meta faces ongoing legal challenges over allegations that its Llama models were trained on copyrighted book materials without permission.
As Meta continues to refine its AI strategy and expand its portfolio of digital innovations, LlamaCon is set to serve as a key platform for developers and industry stakeholders to gain insights into the company’s evolving generative AI capabilities.
