80% of the Llama 4 Team Resigns Collectively?
Yesterday, a shocking revelation from a machine learning researcher at AI star startup Prime Intellect set the AI community ablaze.
Meta’s flagship AI model, “Behemoth,” has repeatedly delayed its release, with internal doubts about the company’s multi-billion-dollar AI strategy reaching a peak.
Of the original 14 members of the Llama 1 team, 11 have already left Meta.
In response, Meta executive Dave Arnold quickly debunked the claim of an 80% employee exodus, calling it inaccurate. He emphasized that those who left were only from the Llama 1 paper’s team, not subsequent teams.
Meanwhile, OpenAI launched its powerful coding agent Codex yesterday. Next week, Google’s I/O conference will unveil a series of hits like Veo and Flow.
This turmoil has prompted the industry to ask a soul-searching question: Has Meta hit a bottleneck in this AI race?
