We built an AI model to simulate how a fruit fly walks, flies and behaves – in partnership with @HHMIJanelia. 🪰
Our computerized insect replicates realistic motion, and can even use its eyes to control its actions.
Here’s how we developed it – and what it means for science. 🧵
Introducing our first set of Llama 4 models!
We’ve been hard at work doing a complete re-design of the Llama series. I’m so excited to share it with the world today and mark another major milestone for the Llama herd as we release the *first* open source models in the Llama 4 collection 🦙. Here are some highlights:
📌 The Llama series have been re-designed to use state of the art mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture and natively trained with multimodality. We’re dropping Llama 4 Scout & Llama 4 Maverick, and previewing Llama 4 Behemoth.
📌 Llama 4 Scout is highest performing small model with 17B activated parameters with 16 experts. It’s crazy fast, natively multimodal, and very smart. It achieves an industry leading 10M+ token context window and can also run on a single GPU!
📌 Llama 4 Maverick is the best multimodal model in its class, beating GPT-4o and Gemini 2.0 Flash across a broad range of widely reported benchmarks, while achieving comparable results to the new DeepSeek v3 on reasoning and coding – at less than half the active parameters. It offers a best-in-class performance to cost ratio with an experimental chat version scoring ELO of 1417 on LMArena. It can also run on a single host!
📌 Previewing Llama 4 Behemoth, our most powerful model yet and among the world’s smartest LLMs. Llama 4 Behemoth outperforms GPT4.5, Claude Sonnet 3.7, and Gemini 2.0 Pro on several STEM benchmarks. Llama 4 Behemoth is still training, and we’re excited to share more details about it even while it’s still in flight.
A big thanks to all of our launch partners (full list in blog) for helping us bring Llama 4 to developers everywhere including @huggingface, @togethercompute, @SnowflakeDB, @ollama, @databricks and many others👏 This is just the start, we have more models coming and the team is really cooking – look out for Llama 4 Reasoning 😉
A few weeks ago, we celebrated Llama being downloaded over 1 billion times. Llama 4 demonstrates our long-term commitment to open source AI, the entire open source AI community, and our unwavering belief that open systems will produce the best small, mid-size and soon frontier models. Llama would be nothing without the global open source AI community & we are so ready to begin this next chapter with you. 🦙

Think with me:
What if you had an AI that sells for you while you sleep?
Or an AI that handles customer service while you focus on what really matters?
This is the reality for those who already use AI agents.
The weekend is here—it’s time to relax, catch up with friends and family… or have you started preferring chats with AI agents instead? 😆
Tell me, how’s your social life going? Do you still enjoy face-to-face conversations, or have you fully embraced AI interactions?
In a move to strengthen Russia's technological capabilities, President Vladimir Putin has directed the Russian government and the country's largest bank, Sberbank, to enhance cooperation with China in the field of artificial intelligence (Al).
I wish you all a wonderful start to 2025, filled with joy, health, and prosperity. May this new year bring many achievements and special moments for each of you!
The U.S. Department of Justice is pressuring Google to sell parts of its operations and change practices to curb its monopoly. Google controls 90% of searches and 50% of the U.S. browser market. With AI fueling its dominance, could this open doors for new players in tech and AI?
In today's digital landscape, simply selling products isn't enough.
To truly succeed, businesses must focus on creating a strong brand that resonates with customers.
OpenAI has launched a prompt cache that cuts API call costs by 50% for already processed tokens, automatically.
No code changes are needed. AI is becoming more accessible and affordable every day.
Those not using AI are missing out on a huge opportunity! 🤖🤯🤡

New AI Model: "Strawberry" 🍓
OpenAI is set to release its latest AI model, "Strawberry," designed to tackle tasks and solve problems that current AI models can’t handle. This includes solving complex math problems, developing market strategies, and performing deep research.
@Kevin_Jackson OpenAI’s "Strawberry" is expected to handle tasks tackle complex, creative decision-making, or even working seamlessly across multiple industries without the need for constant retraining. It's kind of like AI moving from being a skilled worker to a versatile.
@Kevin_Jackson "Strawberry" is being designed to go beyond this, aiming for true adaptability meaning it could learn faster with less data, handle more abstract problems, and be more reliable in real-world scenarios. So, imagine it helping businesses not just automate repetitive tasks but also
