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

1.53K 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 you are ever curious how a digital based company can provide a free product, they are likely making their money off of the data they collect on you.

It’s possible that LLAMA is losing a bit of money. But they’re likely in research phase right now anyway (as are most “Ai” chats) so that’s acceptable.

But Facebook is free because of the data mining they do. It would likely be no different with any other free digital service.
