META INTRODUCES “THE LLAMA 4 HERD” 🦙

I don’t use Llama much because I’m afraid it will spit at me. 🙃

What’s new? Meta has launched Llama 4 Scout and Llama 4 Maverick, its most advanced AI models yet. The company is also previewing Llama 4 Behemoth, one of the smartest LLMs in the world, designed to teach these new models.

Want some details? The new models use a “mixture-of-experts” architecture, which activates only some of the model’s parts during each task—making them more efficient and powerful. Llama 4 Scout boasts a 10 million-token context window, allowing it to process massive amounts of information at once. Maverick, while still lightweight, outperforms rivals like GPT-4o on reasoning and coding tasks, thanks in part to training with the massive Llama 4 Behemoth. Behemoth excels in complex tasks like coding, math, reasoning, and image analysis, outperforming top models like GPT-4.5 and Gemini 2.0 Pro on several benchmarks. Although it’s still in training and has not been publicly released, Meta uses it to “distill” its knowledge into the smaller Scout and Maverick models, giving them a performance boost without the massive compute costs. Both models can process images alongside text and are available for free download on llama.com and Hugging Face.

MAN USES AI AS DEFENSE LAWYER 👨‍⚖️

Q: What did the judge say when the skunk walked in the courtroom?

A: Odor in the court. 🦨

What happened? In a New York appeals court, a man presented his legal argument to judges through an AI-generated video of a person who doesn’t exist.

Want some context? Jerome Dewald, representing himself in an employment dispute, submitted a pre-recorded video to the court featuring a lifelike AI avatar delivering his argument. The judges stopped the recording after five seconds and expressed their disapproval. “The court was really upset about it,” Dewald conceded. “They chewed me up pretty good.” Dewald later apologized, explaining he used the avatar to avoid stumbling through his speech.

Fry Guy’s unsalted opinion: This case highlights the growing confusion and tension around AI in the legal system and beyond. I’m not really sure what was wrong with Dewald using AI to speak on his behalf. Just because he used a synthetic representative doesn’t mean the substance of his argument was any less valid. This seems to underscore a persistent anti-AI bias in our society. I reckon this will change in the future.

MICROSOFT DEBUTS AI-CREATED VIDEO GAME 🎮

I recently got rid of my PlayStation. There was nothing wrong with it—I just wanted a Switch. 😆

What’s up? Microsoft has released a tech demo of the video game Quake II (only available on desktop) generated by its Muse AI model, marking a major step in its vision for AI-assisted game creation.

Want the details? The demo is a simplified, browser-based version of Quake II generated entirely by Muse AI. Though the visuals are basic and gameplay time is limited, it runs at a smoother frame rate than the original low-res prototype. Muse is designed to learn how a game plays by analyzing video and gameplay data, which allows it to recreate or prototype games without needing original code or engines. Microsoft plans to use Muse to help developers quickly build game ideas and even revive classic titles for modern systems.

Why does this matter? This release hints at a future where AI can help preserve, recreate, and enhance video games—making old titles playable on new devices and giving developers powerful tools to prototype new ones faster.
