Meta recently announced the first LlamaCon, a conference for developers who have built applications around Meta’s popular LLM Llama:

At LlamaCon, we’ll share the latest on our open source AI developments to help developers do what they do best: build amazing apps and products, whether as a start-up or at scale.

Mark your calendars: We’ll have more to share on LlamaCon in the coming weeks.

The conference will take place on April 29.

Though Meta’s touting of Llama as “open source” is not without controversy, the fact that an entire ecosystem has arisen around Llama is certainly a net positive for COSS.
