How does Meta (Facebook) make money on LLAMA (their version of chat gpt) if it’s free?

1.52K views

LLAMA2 is out and it’s pretty fancy, and there’s a news report that they’re making a way bigger one. But if it’s just open source stuff, how do they justify the massive costs to make it? It seems like everyone can just use it for free.

If something is free, it’s not the product, you are. Anytime a service offers free games, free interaction, free anything the goal is to get you in the doors. With a service like Llama, individual users can work with it and essentially train it, then as it becomes more efficient and effective it can then be licensed out for professional use. Your data is the product being utilized for return on investment.
