Why do you ask questions you can easily ask to an LLM? You probably don't care, your world view is "Meta bad".

Meta created and support React which runs much of the internet. Pytorch, which runs most AI models. GraphQL, Jest, Llama (one of the first open weights models) and more that I can't remember.

What are you talking about?

> Meta created and support React

An engineer who worked at Meta did some stuff on his personal Github and managed to get them to adopt it. They weren't being innovative, they got someone else to do the prototyping and then brought it in.

Much like the same conversation about other large organisations that buy to "innovate".

> ...Pytorch

Didn't they just hire some of the maintainers of Torch7, who had started on the rework of implementing lessons learnt and migration to Python? So you while you could say they "created PyTorch", it would be quite misleading.
