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.

How does meta make money on llama if it’s free? They don’t, and that’s not their goal
Their goal is to screw over open AI and chat GPT
Open AI is burning a lot of money to run chat GPT and the large language models that they’re using are out of date and have other questionable content
Meta’s large language model is up to date and open source meaning it can be iterated on and improved faster and for cheaper then open AI could possibly hope to keep up
It’s a type of loss leader tactic to undermine up-and-coming popular tech products and snuff them out before they become an actual threat
Meta does this kind of thing all the time they’ve just decided to focus on large language models this time around
The end goal? Either buy them out or remove them from the playing field
