"Despite investors buying into the enthusiasm, sending Meta's shares soaring six percent following the announcement, the company admitted it likely won't be able to keep up with competing models."
"The announcement is a bit of an enigma: if it can't keep up with the competition, why release it at all?"
"The company's decision to train the closed-source model on third-party open-source models, including a Chinese one developed by Alibaba, will also likely raise eyebrows."
"Meta's preceding Llama open source models largely failed to catch on, with a major controversy last year finding that Meta may have faked benchmark results."
Meta has shifted from open source to a closed model with the introduction of Muse Spark, developed by Superintelligence Labs. Despite a positive market reaction, executives acknowledged that Muse Spark may not compete effectively with models like ChatGPT and Claude. The decision to release Muse Spark raises questions about its timing and purpose, especially given Meta's recent legal issues. Additionally, training the model on third-party open-source models, including one from Alibaba, has sparked controversy, reflecting ongoing challenges in Meta's AI strategy.
