Mark Zuckerberg is making a $40 billion bet on AI, and Meta's LLAMA models, which are
00:05
released freely to developers, are a big part of that strategy.
00:10
But a lot of people are asking, why is Meta giving away its technology for free?
00:15
Hi, I'm Sharon Goldman, AI reporter at Fortune.
00:19
After a rocky period with the Metaverse that hurt Meta's stock, OpenAI released Chat GPT,
00:25
and Meta also had to quickly catch up in generative AI.
00:28
While Meta's competitors, like OpenAI and Anthropic, keep their AI models proprietary
00:34
and under lock and key, Meta decided to release its LLAMA models as open source, meaning that
00:39
they allow developers to use, modify, and build on those models.
00:44
So far, the gamble seems to be paying off, Meta's stock has bounced back significantly
00:49
this year.
00:50
Maybe that's why Mark Zuckerberg himself seems to be having his own transformative
00:55
glow up.
00:56
Zuckerberg is betting that this transparency and collaboration will fuel faster innovation
01:01
and position Meta as a key player in AI.
01:04
It's also a challenge to the closed model favored by OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google,
01:10
and Meta is seeking to disrupt the status quo.
01:12
Meta's stock has bounced back to all-time highs this year thanks to the focus on generative
01:17
AI and the integration of LLAMA across all Meta's platforms, including Facebook, Instagram,
01:23
and WhatsApp.
01:24
There are also risks to Meta's open source approach.
01:27
Critics cite security issues and the potential for misuse of the technology.
01:32
Still Meta's pivot to be all-in on generative AI and the confidence it's restored in investors,
01:37
even though it does come at a high cost, signals that Mark Zuckerberg himself is all-in on
01:43
this pivot to help lead the AI revolution.
