Meta is “taking the next steps toward open-source AI becoming the industry standard,” according to CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is putting his weight behind “open-source” artificial intelligence — calling it a “path forward” for the industry amid the release of his company’s latest Llama AI model.
On July 23, Mark Zuckerberg said the firm was “taking the next steps toward open-source AI becoming the industry standard” with the release of Llama 3.1, which he described as the first “frontier-level open-source AI model.”
Zuckerberg drew a parallel between the evolution of open-source software Linux from the initially closed-source Unix and the potential future of AI — suggesting that open-source AI will become the industry standard.
