Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, is in the process of developing a new, powerful AI system to rival OpenAI’s advanced model. This AI model aims to surpass the capabilities of their recent release, Llama 2, and is primarily focused on generative AI tools.

Meta plans to commence training in early 2024, with substantial investments in data centers and advanced chips. The company also intends to open-source this new model, although there are concerns about potential risks, including misuse and disinformation. In recent years, Meta has undergone strategic shifts, from its Libra project to its rebranding as Meta to focus on the Metaverse and AI development. These shifts have raised questions about Meta’s long-term goals and direction in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
