Meta’s AI openness may be shifting

Meta built its reputation in AI on openness — but that approach may be changing, reported TechCrunch.

The company has stood out by releasing its AI models, like LLaMA, to the public and research communities, unlike more closed rivals such as Google and OpenAI.

However, recent reports indicate that Meta is internally debating how open the upcoming LLaMA 3 models should be. Some within the company are pushing to limit public access for reasons related to safety, competition, and commercial interest.

This has sparked tension between those advocating for full openness and others urging caution. While Meta hasn’t officially changed its policy, observers say this shift could undermine its standing as a champion of open AI. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
