Meta abandons open-source Llama for proprietary Muse Spark
In a significant strategy shift, Meta is reportedly moving away from its open-source Llama model family for internal development. The company is now focusing on a new proprietary model named Muse Spark, raising questions about its future commitment to the open-source AI community.
MY TAKE
This is a potential earthquake for the open-source AI space, which has benefited immensely from Meta's Llama releases. It signals a possible trend of major players walling off their most advanced models as competition intensifies.
