Meta Llama 3 - Hackdot

Let's be honest that he's probably not doing it due to goodness of his heart. He's most likely trying to commoditize the models so he can sell their complement. It's a strategy Joel Spolsky had talked about in the past (for those of you who remember who that is). I'm not sure what the complement of AI models is that Meta can sell exactly, so maybe it's not a good strategy but I'm certain it's a strategy of some sort

You lead with a command to be honest and then immediately speculate on private unknowable motivations and then attribute, without evidence, his decision to a strategy you can't describe.

What is this? Someone said something nice, and you need to "restore balance"

They said something naive, not just "nice". It's good to correct the naivete.

For example, as we speak, Zuck is lobbying congress to ban Tiktok. Putting aside whether you think it should be banned, this is clearly a cynical strategy with pure self interest in mind. He's trying to monopolize.

Whatever Zuck's strategy with open source is, it's just a strategy. Much like AMD is pursuing that strategy. They're corporations and they don't care about you or me.

What was said that was naive?

Also keep in mind that it's still a proprietary model. Meta gets all the benefits of open source contributions and testing while retaining exclusive business use.

Very wrong.

Llama is usable by any company under 700M MAU.

Do you have a source? Here's the license when you request access from Meta for Llama, unless there's something I'm missing?

EDIT: Looks like they did open up commercial use with version 2 with the explicit restriction to prevent any major competitor to Meta from using Llama, and that any improvements related to Llama can only apply to Llama. So an attempt to expand the scope of usage and adoption of their proprietary model without their main competitors being able to use it, which still fits my original point.
