Meta's 'Behemoth' Llama 4 model might still be months away

SMRTR summary

Meta's highly anticipated "Behemoth" Llama 4 AI model, initially slated for release in April, has been delayed until fall or later. Engineers are reportedly struggling to significantly improve its capabilities, despite claims it outperforms competitors like GPT-4.5 and Gemini 2.0 Pro on STEM benchmarks. The delay raises questions about whether improvements justify a public release. This setback is notable given Meta's substantial $72 billion investment in AI infrastructure for 2024, highlighting the challenges in advancing AI technology amid fierce competition.
