Meta Platforms Inc. Explores a Major AI Strategy Overhaul

In a surprising turn of events, Meta Platforms Inc., under the guidance of its new Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang, is reportedly contemplating a significant shift in its artificial intelligence strategy. The company, long a proponent of open-source AI developments, is now exploring the possibility of moving its Behemoth AI model to a closed-source framework, according to a recent report by the New York Times.

Internal Delays and Strategic Reevaluations

The decision comes amidst delays in the release of the Behemoth model, attributed to "poor internal performance." The formation of a superintelligence lab last month has further prompted Meta to halt ongoing tests and reconsider its approach to AI development. While no final decision has been made, this potential shift marks a pivotal moment in Meta's AI journey.
