Zuckerburg’s AI Ambitions Crash Into Reality, Investors Yeet Stock As Punishment…

Welp, Meta’s Behemoth” AI model is stuck in the kind of delay spiral that makes you wonder if anyone at Menlo Park is actually steering the ship or if they’re just playing a very expensive game of “What If?” Originally slated for an April release to coincide with Meta’s inaugural AI developer conference, Behemoth has now been punted to fall… or, let’s be honest, whenever Zuck feels brave enough to pretend this thing is ready to play.

Oh, and engineers are reportedly struggling to make Behemoth anything more than a marginally shinier version of its predecessors, raising questions about whether Meta’s AI ambitions are all bark and no bite. Understandable. 

The thing is, for a company that’s been screaming “AI is the future” louder than the sound of burning cash at Reality Labs, this isn’t the greatest look for Zuck & the Boys. Behemoth was supposed to be Meta’s grand entrance into the big leagues, a move to show OpenAI and Google that their LLM dominance wasn’t unshakable. Instead, it’s looking more and more like Meta has bitten off more than it can chew.  And now that Behemoth is stuck in development hell, Meta’s best showing so far has been two smaller Llama models–Scout and Maverick—which, while praised, are not exactly earth-shattering.

Naturally, the market’s reaction was “WTF bro?”. Investors yeeted the stock more than 2% on the news, adding another -0.21% in pre-market. Why the harshness? Well, because while missing the release date isn’t great, it’s the growing sense that Meta may not have what it takes to compete in a space where OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard are already eating everyone’s lunch. Every day Behemoth stays in limbo is another day Meta falls behind. 

To be fair though, the tech challenges are fully bricked up on this one. And this situation highlights the real and unsexy truth about LLMs: they’re a pain in the a$$ to build, scale, and deploy without accidentally inventing a PR disaster. Large-language models are a different beast and notoriously difficult to refine. It’s not just about stacking GPUs and feeding the model Reddit comments until it becomes sentient. You have to make sure it doesn’t hallucinate, doesn’t regurgitate slurs, and doesn’t start suggesting pyramid schemes. Meta’s been burned before. They know what happens when you unleash something too early. And now they’re stuck in limbo… too scared to ship, too deep in to scap it.

Which leaves Zuck the Buck at a crossroads. Either they pull Behemoth together and make a real play for AI dominance, or they risk being relegated to the sidelines while OpenAI and Google solidify their positions. Right now, it’s not looking great. Fall can’t come soon enough… but at this rate Behemoth is looking more like Zuck’s graveyard of loud, hyped up, and ultimately irrelevant escapades (read: Newark Education Foundation). 

For now, keep your eyes on Meta’s stock today and place your bets accordingly, friends. Until next time…
