Well, that’s because Zuckerberg felt FOMO and fired the Llama team over one bad experiment he probably pressured them into in the first place (as Llama 4 seemed like a “quick and dirty” attempt to copy Deepseek to me).
He hired literal narcissists in their place, who gave him big promises they couldn’t possibly keep, given their background.
Meta was literally at the center of open weights/open source ML land, which is where all this will eventually settle. Between that and PyTorch, they could have been at the center of the universe.
But they aren’t, because Zuck is so unbelievably insecure.
I’m not one to blame individuals for anything; systemic failure is complex. But he actually did this to himself.
And what’s bizarre is, somehow, it will work out for him.
I’ve been criticizing Facebook since I was in high school and it was all the rage. But here we are. Zuckerberg is more “revered” than ever.
