Meta Delays 'Behemoth' AI Model Release (axios.com)

(Friday May 16, 2025 @03:00AM (BeauHD) from the change-of-plans dept.)


According to the [1]Wall Street Journal (paywalled), Meta is [2]delaying the release of its largest Llama 4 AI model , known as "Behemoth," over concerns that it may not be enough of an advance on previous models. "It's another indicator that the AI industry's scaling strategy -- 'just make everything bigger' -- could be hitting a wall," notes Axios. From the report:

> The Journal says that Behemoth is now expected to be released in the fall or even later. It was originally scheduled to coincide with Meta's Llamacon event last month, then later postponed till June. It's also possible the company could speed up a more limited Behemoth release.

It could be Meta's push toward "non-leftist bias" in AI models is backfiring in a big, totally predictable way. Same reason as their last hyped "big" AI model was a bit of a dud. An AI model is only as good as it's ability to speak unbiased fact. Like when Conservapedia was created to "battle the left-wing bias of Wikipedia" and it just ended up being filled with stupidity. Even the Schafly brothers who launched Conservapedia argued over an article regarding a science topic, being that one of them actua
