Meta has ad revenue. I think Meta’s play is to make it difficult for pure AI competitors to make revenue through LLMs.





Meta's play is to make sure there isn't an obvious superiority to one company's closed LLM -- because that's what would drive customers to choosing that company's product(s).

If LLM effectiveness is all about the same, then other factors dominate customer choice.

Like which (legacy) platforms have the strongest network effects. (Which Meta would be thrilled about)


That’s not commoditising the complement!

I’m not the poster that said it was that.
