Meta is gearing up for an exciting event on April 29th with the launch of LlamaCon, an AI-focused developer conference that will be entirely virtual. The conference will be hosted on the Meta for Developers Facebook page, allowing viewers to watch live as the action unfolds.
The event will kick off at 1PM ET / 10AM PT with a keynote address featuring Meta’s Chief Product Officer Chris Cox, Vice President of AI Manohar Paluri, and research scientist Angela Fan. The keynote is expected to delve into the latest developments within the company’s open-source AI community, provide updates on the Llama collection of models and tools, and offer a sneak peek at upcoming AI features.
Following the keynote address, there will be a conversation at 1:45PM ET / 10:45PM ET between Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi on the topic of «building AI-powered applications.» Later in the day, at 7PM ET / 4PM PT, Zuckerberg will engage in a discussion with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella about «the latest trends in AI.» While it’s unclear if any groundbreaking news will be revealed during these conversations, the history of collaboration between Microsoft and Meta leaves room for exciting possibilities.
Meta has a track record of launching updates to its AI technologies outside of traditional conference settings. For instance, the company recently introduced its new Llama 4 family of models, which excel in image understanding and document parsing, on a Saturday in early April. As such, there is anticipation surrounding what new models or products Meta may unveil during LlamaCon.
To catch all the action live, be sure to tune in to LlamaCon on April 29th via the Meta for Developers Facebook page. Additionally, Engadget will be live-blogging the event, providing real-time updates and insights for those unable to attend the conference in person.
