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

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

    Meta research released updated segmentation models a few months ago:

    https://github.com/facebookresearch/sam-3d-objects

    https://github.com/facebookresearch/sam3

    IMO that's far more valuable to the ecosystem than more AIaaS

      AFAIK Zuck got mad and restructured the whole department.

      What's likely is that there won't be anything open / significant coming out from them anymore

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

          Poor leadership I will say. So much funds and still they could not do better.

            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.

              Doesn't Facebook already have an ad platform?

                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

                    The AI bubble is starting to burst.

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