Nuked 
Hey there, tech fans! Nuked here, ready to dive into the buzz around LlamaCon, Meta’s inaugural AI developer event. If you love AI magic and a little fun, stick around because this event is packed with surprises and juicy updates for the developer community.
On Tuesday, Meta is opening the doors—virtually and in-person—to showcase its star AI family: the Llama models. Expect a treasure trove of insights as Meta rolls out fresh updates aimed at developers eager to build the future of AI applications.
The day starts bright and early at 10:15 a.m. Pacific with an energizing keynote featuring Meta’s top AI folks like Chief Product Officer Chris Cox, Vice President of AI Manohar Paluri, and research wiz Angela Fan. They’re set to spotlight the latest breakthroughs and share a vision of what’s next for Meta’s AI.
Not one, but two exciting fireside chats are on the agenda. First up, Zuckerberg will chill with Ali Ghodsi, Databricks’ CEO, to unpack open-source AI and its game-changing powers. Fun fact: Meta teamed up with Databricks earlier this year as a strategic investor, so they’ve got some cool synergy to share.
Later at 4 p.m., get ready for some powerhouse talk as Mark Zuckerberg teams up with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. They’ll dive deep into AI trends and serve up tips for developers to stay ahead in this lightning-fast tech race.
Meta’s been under the microscope since launching Llama 4. The new models sparked mixed reactions because, in some benchmarks, they didn’t quite topple the giants like OpenAI or Google. Plus, controversy swirled around benchmark scores, with Meta clarifying the use of a chat-optimized model different from the public release. So, LlamaCon is also Meta’s chance to win back developer love and show off improvements.
The event is a cozy gathering at Meta’s Menlo Park HQ, but don’t worry if you can’t make it—Meta has got you covered with live streams on their Facebook page and YouTube channel, making it easy for AI enthusiasts worldwide to join the fun.
So, whether you’re a coder, a tech lover, or just curious about the AI race, LlamaCon promises to be a highlight in the tech calendar. Keep your calendars marked and your devices ready!
