I am not sure businesses would trust Meta with their sensitive data. Facebook/Meta brand equity in the B2B domain is severely tarnished, with their long history of lack of respect to data privacy laws and lack of transparency.

I just don’t see how Meta could possibly turn into a success in the B2B software business. They are a great advertising company, but they’ve never been successful in their other ventures…

Honestly this feels like a good reason for them to open source it. You trust the local model and may try using it instead of one of their competitors like OpenAI. If they took LLAMA in the state they released it in and hosted inference, nobody would use it due to the lower quality and data privacy issues.
