Meta plans to bring back open-source AI models
By Alimat Aliyeva
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on Monday that the company will soon resume releasing some open-source AI models. An independent board will have authority to approve the safety criteria governing model releases, he added, AzerNEWS reports, citing foreign media.
"Meta continues to be strongly supportive of open source, including open source AI models. The current open source ecosystem is strong, and we think it would be a mistake to restrict it. Now that Meta Superintelligence Labs are up and running, we will resume releasing some open source models soon," Zuckerberg wrote in a long essay.
The tech giant also launched Muse Glimmer, a new open-weight agentic model designed to run locally on Macs and PCs. The model is much smaller than leading AI models from competitors and is intended for agentic tasks. It can run on a Mac or PC with a single graphics card in an effort to meet the demand for AI systems that operate directly on people's devices.
