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

1.48K 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.

Why do you think they’re making money on it right now? I would assume at this point most AI services run at a loss while they collect user data and info on habits of usage and then figure out how best to monetise these new products.

Facebook has huge cash reserves to run something like this at a loss for years if they want to.
