Meta's recent Llamacon event didn't meet expectations because there were no new reasoning models announced. Other companies like OpenAI and Google have already released theirs, leaving Meta behind.
There's confusion about Meta's new Llama API, as it seems to compete with their partners instead of supporting them. This could hurt relationships with companies that rely on Meta's technology.
The launch of the Llama 4 models wasn't well executed. They are more complicated to customize and may not appeal to developers, which is a big issue for Meta right now.
