React 20 Beta, Meta's Llama 4 & Figma Dev Mode Gets Smarter

React 20 enters beta with the new compiler on by default, Meta drops Llama 4 open source, and Figma Dev Mode gets AI-powered code generation.

AI World


  • Meta released Llama 4 (8B, 70B, 405B) — open weights under a permissive license. The 70B model rivals GPT-4o on most benchmarks.
  • Perplexity AI launched Perplexity Pro Search with real-time data from the web, beating ChatGPT's web browsing feature in speed tests.
  • Runway Gen-4 video model can now generate 60-second clips at 1080p from a single image prompt.

Webflow Updates


  • Webflow Forms now support multi-step forms natively — no more custom JavaScript workarounds.
  • Localization feature is out of beta and now supports 50+ languages with automatic hreflang tag injection.

Web Development


  • React 20 beta is here — React Compiler is on by default, eliminating the need for useMemo and useCallback in most cases. Server Components are now stable.
  • Figma Dev Mode AI now generates component code in React, Vue, and Svelte from selected frames — with Tailwind or CSS Modules output.
  • Bun 2.0 released with a built-in SQL client, native WebSocket server, and 3x faster bun install using a new parallel resolver.

General Tech


  • Vercel acquired Tremor (open-source React dashboard library) and is integrating it into v0.dev.
  • Microsoft announced Copilot+ PCs will get local LLM inference for Edge browser — offline AI with no API calls.
