Meta announced on Tuesday that it will host a new conference for developers called “Llamacon” in April, focusing on advancements in “open source AI technology.”
Set for April 29, 2025, this event follows the remarkable progress and interest surrounding the company’s open-source Llama models and tools, as stated in Meta’s announcement. Further details, including the event’s location and ticket pricing, have not yet been disclosed, but Meta assures that more information will be revealed soon.
In addition, Meta announced the return of its Meta Connect event, aimed at professionals in virtual and mixed reality, which is scheduled for September 17-18, 2025. This year’s conference will unveil the latest updates for Meta Horizon and promises to provide insights into the future of technology.
Like other American tech companies, Meta plans to make significant investments in AI in 2025. At the end of January, Meta’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg announced that the organization would allocate between $60 billion and $65 billion towards AI infrastructure, which includes a new data center expected to consume one gigawatt of energy—equivalent to the output of two nuclear power stations.
Zuckerberg remarked, “This will be a pivotal year for AI. I predict that in 2025, Meta AI will serve over one billion users, Llama 4 will be the cutting-edge model, and we will develop an AI engineer capable of contributing significantly to our research and development efforts.”
