Sounds like the classic commoditize your compliment. Meta benefits from AI capabilities but doesn’t need to hold a monopoly on the tech. They just benefit from advances so they can work with open source community to achieve this.

Thanks for the link, interesting.

I just don't see Meta's role-- where is their monopoly in the stack?

MSFT seems to have a much clearer compliment. They own the servers OAI run on. They would loooove for OAI competitors to also run in Azure.

Where does Meta make its money re: AI?

Meta makes $ from ads. Targeted ads for consumers. Is the play more better targeting with AI somehow?
