Yeah, the way I see it Meta is undermining OpenAI's business model because it can, I have serious doubts Meta would be doing as it does with OpenAI out of the picture.

This is clear as day. If they got an early lead to the LLM/AI space like OpenAI did with ChatGPT, then things would be very different. Attributing the open source to "good will" and Meta being righteous seems like some mis-founded 16 year old's overly simplistic ideal of the world. Meta is a business. Period.

Things like PyTorch help everyone (massively!), including OpenAI.

Another of Meta's major "open source" initiatives is Open Compute which has nothing to do with OpenAI.

I see zero relationship between Meta's open source initiatives and OpenAI. Why would there be? OpenAI is not a competitor, and in fact help push the field of AI forwards which is helpful to Meta.

Meta's advantage in AI is that they have leading-scale and continuous feeds of content to which they have legal entitlement. (Unlike OpenAI)

If state of open art pushes forward and is cutting edge, Meta wins (English) by default.

Also Meta's models are nowhere near as advanced so they couldn't even ask significant amount of money for them.
