Meta Swears This Time Is Different
Briefly

Meta, initially ahead in AI with its 2013 launch of Facebook AI Research (FAIR) led by Yann LeCun, now finds itself trailing competitors like OpenAI and Google. The promised contributions from FAIR were not directly geared towards consumer-facing products, placing Meta behind as other companies launched successful generative AI models. Despite rolling out its Llama models in an effort to catch up, performance results indicate an ongoing struggle. The initial promise of FAIR has not materialized into leadership in the current AI landscape, requiring Meta to restart its approach to AI development.
