Meta Platforms Delays AI Model Release, Sparking Concerns Over Investment Strategy

According to BlockBeats, Meta Platforms has postponed the release of its flagship AI model, raising internal concerns about the direction of its multi-billion dollar AI investments. Insiders revealed that engineers are striving to enhance the performance of the large language model named 'Behemoth,' while employees question whether the improvements are sufficient for a public launch. Initially scheduled to debut at Meta's first AI developer conference in April, the release was delayed to June and is now postponed until autumn or later. Despite Meta's previous accolades for rapidly catching up with competitors like OpenAI and investing $72 billion to fulfill CEO Mark Zuckerberg's AI ambitions, the training of 'Behemoth' has encountered obstacles, resulting in performance falling short of expectations. The executive team has expressed dissatisfaction with the Llama 4 development group and is considering a management restructuring within the AI product department.
