Facebook screws over Google and Microsoft

Of all CEOs to go open source with AI, it’s Zuck

Meta is releasing the largest OPEN SOURCE AI model, that cost billions to develop.

Llama 3.1, which he claims can beat ChatGPT and Google’s bullshit, on multiple benchmarks.  And now he’s completely just giving it away.  And it’s cheaper to setup server-side also. [1]

Quote Wired,
“Meta CEO Zuckerberg compared Llama to the open source Linux operating system. When Linux took off in the late '90s and early 2000s many big tech companies were invested in closed alternatives and criticized open source software as risky and unreliable. Today however Linux is widely used in cloud computing and serves as the core of the Android mobile OS.

“I believe that AI will develop in a similar way,” Zuckerberg writes in his letter. “Today, several tech companies are developing leading closed models. But open source is quickly closing the gap.” [2]
