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.

AI is clearly going to be very important if not the most important capability in the future. Nobody is sure exactly what forms that will take. Meta wants to be sure they are on the cutting edge and have the hardware, software, network and data ready to pivot to take advantage of AI capabilities. For now they are content to build it and get the widest audience using it so they can see where the opportunities are. If they ignored AI they would eventually get run over by someone else who has better capabilities.
So it’s an investment in an unclear future.
