- Platforms where users can interact with AI agents

- Extensive user and content data that can be used to fine tune large foundation models

Zuckerberg talked about this in his interview with Lex Friedman.

From what I understand they already benefited by the OSS work on quantization and they see themselves as well positioned to benefit from a world where there's a bunch of specialized AI models/assistants.

So much of business is about people and connections, and hey, guess what Meta deals in? People and connections!
He’s also got tens, perhaps hundreds, of millions of dollars worth of free labour from AI researchers working to make his models better.
