IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LEAH FROM ONEPROFILE
Still wasting time & $$$ to hire a dev?

Leah sources globally, runs assessments, manages interviews, and surfaces only the top matches ready to deploy. Add her to Slack, and you’ll cut your hiring costs by up to 80% instantly ✂️

We’re opening up partnership opportunities for teams who want to start hiring right away with Leah on their side. If your team’s looking to scale smarter, not harder 👇

IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Meta’s Llama 4 just got its own home

Meta is stepping into the AI race with a dedicated Meta AI app built on Llama 4 - its strongest move yet against ChatGPT. Announced at its first-ever AI-focused event, LlamaCon, Meta also revealed early access to an API for Llama models and a push to get developers on board.

The new app isn’t just a chatbot. It’s wired into Meta’s ecosystem, pulling in data from Facebook and Instagram to offer ultra-personalized responses. It supports everything from doc creation to voice commands, and even integrates with Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses.

Key highlights:

  • New Meta AI app on mobile and web for personal, voice-first interaction.

  • Llama API preview, aimed at developers and enterprise use cases like RAG and customer support.

  • LlamaCon event to build a dev community around Meta’s "open" AI stack.

Meta’s not just playing catch-up.

It’s building an AI ecosystem that’s social-first, hardware-ready, and dev-friendly. Whether that’s enough to pull devs and users from OpenAI or Anthropic is the real test.
