Some of Meta's new AI models set to be released as open source

Ahead of the launch of its new AI models, Meta is expected to adopt a hybrid strategy of releasing some models as open source. Meta has recently accelerated development of its next-generation models by forming a new 'superintelligence' team.

The core of this strategy is to focus on the consumer market, instead of the highly profitable enterprise market that OpenAI and Anthropic are concentrating on. Meta has emphasized the importance of open source AI through its existing Llama models, and plans to operate proprietary and open source models in parallel going forward.

Meanwhile, The New York Times (NYT) has reported that Meta is delaying the launch of its new AI models due to performance issues.
