"why would they call the AI llama? Isn't that an animal?"
Because it has 'llm' in it? Makes way more sense than a music player formerly known as Winamp
Edit: it seems the company that owns it rebranded itself to llama last year. Still think it's a stupid choice since nobody knows their name and everybody knows Winamp. 'freeamp' would be the logical choice
they always had a llama as a mascot and as part of their slogan
Not always, since the Llama MP3 that came preloaded was introduced somewhere in 1.xx, yet that's still long enough (from 1998 to 2011 or so).
