Meta Llama Conference Unveils AI Shenanigans and Llama Drama

Meta has officially launched its flashy new generative AI conference called LlamaCon on April 29 after years of keeping Llama AI as a sidekick in its Connect conferences. Streaming online, it’s not quite a blockbuster premiere but promises enough chatter to keep your coffee warm.

Kicking off at 1:15 PM ET, the show features Meta’s Chief Product Officer, Chris Cox, along with Vice President of AI Manohar Paluri and research scientist Angela Fan. Their mission? To spill the beans on all things Llama—a focus that’s about as exciting as watching paint dry unless you’re a die-hard AI enthusiast. Will they reveal the elusive secret to AI success?

Following the keynote, expect a riveting chat at 10:45 AM PT featuring **Mark Zuckerberg** and **Ali Ghodsi** from Databricks talking about “building AI-powered applications.” Later at **4 PM PT**, Zuckerberg will join forces with **Satya Nadella**—because why not mix Microsoft and Meta into one pot? Just remember: there’s a fine line between innovation and awkward small talk.

Surprisingly, Meta doesn’t wait for events to roll out updates. Just days before, they casually introduced the Llama 4 family of models, showcasing skills that make document parsing look like child’s play. So, one must wonder: what could they possibly have left to show at LlamaCon? A dancing Llama? Perhaps!

As excitement fizzles out, attendees departed with plenty of "Little Llama" teases but zero significant news on new models. It’s almost like they’re teasing a sequel to a movie that never quite launched—a real head-scratcher! Meanwhile, both Zuck and Nadella pondered on the philosophical implications of AI, giving us “deep thoughts” that could’ve starred in a Hallmark card. What wisdom will come next? Stay tuned!
