"Meta is racing against the clock once again. According to a new report from Business Insider, the company is pushing to launch its next major artificial intelligence release-Llama 4.X, also known as Llama 4.5-before the end of the year. This update marks one of the first projects to emerge from Meta's newly minted and costly Superintelligence Labs, a division intended to accelerate the company's AI dominance."
"When Llama 4 launched earlier this year in April, it landed with a thud. Developers criticized its underwhelming performance, lack of fine-tuning, and inconsistent results compared to other open-source and proprietary models. Now, with Llama 4.5, Meta hopes to revive the brand and prove it has the capacity to compete in the rapidly evolving AI landscape."
"Meta's AI strategy also drew criticism for prioritizing scale over refinement. While the company frequently touts its massive datasets and infrastructure, the actual developer experience often leaves much to be desired. Llama 4 felt like an experiment rushed out the door rather than a polished product ready for real-world adoption."
Meta is accelerating a year-end push to launch Llama 4.5 from its new Superintelligence Labs to regain AI competitiveness. The company faces pressure as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google release increasingly powerful models and attract developer interest. Llama 4 received lukewarm reception because of underwhelming performance, inconsistent results, and limited fine-tuning, driving developers toward GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini. Meta's strategy has been criticized for prioritizing scale over product refinement, leaving the developer experience wanting. Llama 4.5 aims to address developer feedback, improve reliability and fine-tuning, and revive Meta's standing in the AI landscape.
