Pragmatic, but revealing. If Meta truly believed Llama would stay ahead, it would not be preparing for a future where competitors power its products. It also makes business sense for Meta because it already rents out compute capacity instead of using it for its own models: supporting multiple leading models could attract more customers to its infrastructure.

Given the demand, it’s not unreasonable to think they could just as easily sell compute to OpenAI or Claude or whoever the domestic flavour of the month is… So the question is, are they doing this to avoid admitting defeat? Answer is obviously no, if they’d use a Chinese model. That is admission of defeat I itself. So then, it is outsourcing more clever models than they know how to produce. And then, the AI stigma plus the anti-China stigma works against them. I think Facebook will be the first to fall. Divest immediately.
