I thoroughly support Meta's open-sourcing of these AI models going forward. However, for a company that absolutely closed down discussions about providing API access to their platform, I'm left wondering what's in it (monetarily) for them by doing this? Is it to simply undercut competition in the space, like some grocery store selling below cost?

- GreenWatermelon 2y agoMeta open sources its tools: React, GraphQL, PyTorch, and now these new models. Meta seems to be about open sourcing tools, not providing open access to their platforms. The AI model complements the platform, and their platform is the money maker. They hold the belief that open sourcing their tools benefit their platform on the long run, which is why they're doing it. And in doing so, they aren't under the control of any competitors. I would say it's more like a grocery store providing free parking, a bus stop, self-checkout, online menu, and free delivery.
