BlockBeats news, on May 16, according to WSJ reports, insiders say that Meta Platforms (META.O) will delay the release of its flagship AI model, raising concerns internally about its hundreds of billions of dollars in AI investment direction.
Insiders say that engineers are working hard to enhance the performance of the large language model named 'Behemoth,' and employees question whether the improvements are sufficient to support a public release. The model was originally scheduled to debut at Meta's first AI developer conference in April, then postponed to June, and now further delayed until the fall or later.
Despite previously being praised for quickly catching up with competitors like OpenAI and spending $72 billion to realize Zuckerberg's AI ambitions, the training of 'Behemoth' has encountered obstacles, leading to performance falling short of expectations. The executive team is dissatisfied with the Llama 4 development group and is considering a management reshuffle in the AI product department. (Jinshi)
