Meta delays Llama 4 AI model release amid development challenges - The Information

Investing.com -- Performance issues have led Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META). to postpone the release of its newest AI model, Llama 4, according to the Information, citing sources familiar with the matter. The delay comes at a critical time when Meta is striving to become a leader in the competitive AI industry.

The launch of Llama 4 has been rescheduled at least twice, with the possibility of further delays, as indicated by the two sources. Meta now targets a release date later in April 2025, though this is subject to change based on ongoing development progress.

Technical challenges have contributed to the postponement, with Llama 4 not meeting Meta’s expectations in key areas such as reasoning and mathematical tasks during benchmark tests. Comparatively, the model has also shown limitations in conducting voice conversations with humanlike quality, especially when compared to models developed by OpenAI.

Llama 4 is a vital component of Meta’s strategy to secure a leading position in the AI market. It is designed to drive chatbot technology, including an assistant known as Meta AI, which is integrated across the company’s suite of social media applications. The success of Llama 4 is crucial for Meta as it seeks to enhance user interaction and engagement across its platforms.
