> Same thing Meta was doing before they fell behind.

Obviously unrelated to the OP, but it's crazy to me how incompetent Meta is at everything new they try to do.

They burned billions of dollars on the most ridiculous project one could ever think of - somehow thinking that VR is the future.

Then they did catch the initial wave of actual future with AI, they were at the forefront of open weight models - and failed at that too.

What is even happening there?

Meta made Pytorch and a lot of vision models back in the day, like Faster RCNN, Mask RCNN, the Detectron framework, and more recently the SAM and DINO series. AI not just LLMs.
