Meta will make their next LLM free for commercial use, putting immense pressure on OpenAI and Google
Meta's latest strategy to offer its AI models for free commercial use turns up the heat on OpenAI and Google and their closed-source AI business model.
Because Meta will harvest and profit of the data.
If we're talking about something like LLaMA (i.e. people can run the model locally) then it's impossible to do that directly. A model can't collect data, metrics, phone home, anything like that by itself. The article sounds like it's talking about that kind of thing, not providing a service that people can access a model through (in the lines of ChatGPT).
we need competition!
This was the initial strategy of OpenAI and the reason for which it was created: put pressure on Facebook and Google. It worked in its own pervese way, I would say.
Is that the similar thing as llama they published before?
Edit: typo
LLaMA is only free for personal use. Also the actual model got leaked a week after the paper.
IIRC it was only supposed to be for research purposes. Individuals wouldn't have been eligible.
