That title is most definitely a swipe at OpenAI. It seems there’s a theme of two types of platform companies: the closed one that has the “premium” platform, and the open one that gets market share by commodifying the platform.

macOS vs Windows

iOS vs Android

OpenAI vs Meta AI?

Edit: Another observation is Meta seems to open things defensively. Facebook had a rich developer platform until Facebook stopped needing to grab market share. Meta’s VR platform was closed until Apple challenged them with Vision Pro. Then Meta announced open sourcing Horizon OS. I wonder if Meta will truly keep things open if they win, or if it’s more like a case of EEE?

I've used OpenAI's tech, and I've used their competitors tech, but I've never used any of Facebooks AI tech yet. Is there something I'm missing out on?

Zuckerberg and Facebook gets a lot of hate but at least they invest a lot into engineering and open source.

Very impressive. Not sure if worth $40 Billion. But very impressive nonetheless.

Free and open LLMs will be compelling to many of users that cannot or do not want to use online services.

It’s good that a large company like Meta seems to be pushing it forward with openllama 3.2.

Open, quality LLMs must lead to some tense discussions at OpenAI and Anthropic about whether they should be open or closed.

OpenAI Whisper is open source and it’s extremely good although it appeared to me the online version is much faster.

Likely not tense as it seems pretty clear where everyone stands on this. OpenAI and Anthropic are likely having conversations along the lines of 'move faster and build the moat!' while Meta is having a conversation along the lines of 'move faster and destroy the moat!'

It's not that Meta has anything against moats, it's just that they've seen how it works when they try to build their moat on top of someone else's (i.e. Apple and Google re: mobile) and it didn't work out too well.

"Open" is a meme at this point, isn't it?
