> What is their route in profitability when Meta is giving away similar tech for free?
- verdverm 2y agoA few come to mind... Brand power Exclusive data deals Being able to call an API vs having to pay for & devops an always on model yourself
- garciasn 2y agoQuality and accessibility is my belief. Meta's Llama3x are great models but they're not providing the same quality and/or accessibility as OpenAI does. Take a look at all the products attempting to sit themselves on top of OpenAI's APIs vs those running on Llama3x; OpenAI dwarfs Meta in that regard, today. We avoid OpenAI's models/API because of client data sharing constraints and are instead using OSS models, including L3x, but it appears most do not see that as a barrier to adoption and are moving forward with OpenAI's offerings. We shall see if the work that OpenAI is doing will pay for itself in the long term and whether OSS models can match the gains made with the funding the commercial offerings are receiving, however.
- nprateem 2y agoYou really think people aren't iterating on OpenAI because it's easy and will then look for cheaper alternatives if their apps take off? I will if the economics make sense.
- thinkindie 2y agoMeta is giving away the model for free, but running that model is not free at all, and quite expensive instead. At some point it will become the usual discussion pay a service or pay infra resources + devops.

- kyriakos 2y agoIt's giving the models. I don't have the hardware to run them. Openai offers me a straight forward way to do it.
