``` if Llama: Behemoth doesn't set the stage for Claude: Requiem nothing will > QUOTED: AI at Meta @AIatMeta · 1h Today is the start of a new era of natively multimodal AI innovation.

Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Meta's official Llama 4 launch announcement (Scout, Maverick, and preview Behemoth models) with parameter counts, quote-tweeted with a joking "sets the stage for Claude" comment, and Nathan's own playful reply with an AI-generated image. Documents the Llama 4 launch date and Nathan's contemporaneous reaction/humor about model competition. Continuation of Nathan's own Llama-4-launch joke thread ("The Behemoth rises, the Claude lies in wait") with a reply riffing on AI model naming conventions and existential-risk gallows humor (dying to something named "Requiem" vs. "o2-preview-1.2-turbo"). Documents Nathan's own social engagement around the Llama 4 launch.
