Meta reconsiders open-source AI strategy as China accelerates development
Meta, long known for championing open-source AI through its LLaMA models, is now taking a more cautious approach. The company indicated it will be “more careful” with open-sourcing future models, signaling a shift in its public stance. This comes as China continues to expand its vibrant open-source AI ecosystem, potentially gaining a technological edge. According to AI pioneer Andrew Ng, this momentum may allow China to eventually surpass the U.S. in AI development.
This shift underscores a growing divergence in national strategies for AI leadership, with implications for innovation, control, and competitive advantage.
