Mark Zuckerberg shared how he plans to make everything open source and ensure they win in terms of offering the best services. The goal was outlined to be for the next decade but no exact time frame was revealed in this regard.
Many do remember Zuckerberg as an ambitious leader who has similarly made a lot of promises including the metaverse for the future. While that may not have gone exactly as planned, the tech billionaire seems to be more confident in this approach.
The news comes after the owner of Facebook’s parent firm revealed to the world his ideology of push and pull wars between open and closed-source tech apps. We’ve seen tech giant Meta roll out several open-source models including Llama and this got a lot of criticism and accreditation.
The podcast was held recently in the city of San Francisco last week. This is where Zuckerberg mentioned how Meta’s biggest competition was an ideological battle over the models. He added how the company does face so much competition across the board.
So much confusion remains in terms of whether apps will be closed integrated models which tech giant Apple has sworn by. Remember, today’s PC era has Windows being the leader in terms of serving the best in an open ecosystem.
However, experts argue that closed models are more secure than all others. This has to do with the fact that source codes of these modes aren’t easily accessible in public. On the other hand, open-source models can assist tech development at a faster pace and transform into something more democratic in nature due to the source code publicly available. These can be modified and then redistributed.
Zuckerberg also mentioned more details about how his future plans for the next 10 to 15 years will entail a new generation of platforms. These will win in terms of popularity and innovation.
As it is, Zuckerberg has made a lot of headwaves in this direction. We saw the tech giant roll out Llama 2 which is mostly open sourced. It slowly but surely transformed into a hit in the tech sector.
The matter does not come without risks. Remember, open-source models can be hacked by threat actors. Similarly, we can see the Llama 2 provides users with detailed instructions on dangerous tasks that cause harm to the world. This has already been a subject of great debate in the past where Zuckerberg argued that similar data can be found elsewhere as well.
Two months back, Zuckerberg won so many accolades and received a lot of props throughout the tech world. This was when it rolled out its open-sourced Llama 3.1 model. In case you did not know, many experts in the industry call this a huge or incredible gift during the time of its launch.
