LlamaCon, Meta's inaugural AI-focused developer conference, is scheduled for April 29, 2025, with more details to be announced in the coming weeks.
The event will focus on Meta's open-source AI ecosystem, including updates on its Llama family of generative AI models and tools for app development.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has hinted at the upcoming release of Llama 4, which is expected to include multimodal and agentic capabilities for broader use cases.
