Ask HN: 10 months since the Llama-4 release: what happened to Meta AI?

3 days ago

I understand Llama 4 was a disappointment, but what's happened at Meta since then? Their API is still waitlist-only 10 months on.

History suggests that when Zuck takes a personal interest in a project, it tends to derail. Metas AI initiative might be headed for the same fate as his previous obsessions.

I wonder why they did not yet rename themselves to "AI" or "Llama" because surely Metaverse ("Meta") is not a hot thing anymore?

I recall rumors that those people they hired at astronomical figures are just fucking around because they know Marc will look bad if he fires them

The most likely reason is internal dysfunction, they certainly have the resources to keep the same release pace

Weird that Zuck is still huffing the open platform copium when everyone outside the US uses deepseek
