Meta's Secretive AI Models Top Benchmarks Without Public APIs
Original: 1GW Computing Power in 1 Year: Meta’s Closed-Source Models Dominate All Benchmark Leaderboards — Why Isn’t Mark Zuckerberg Selling APIs?
Meta is reported to have trained AI models with roughly 1GW of computing power over the past year, and these closed-source models are said to top benchmark leaderboards across the board. The puzzle being discussed is why Mark Zuckerberg is not selling API access to them, a departure from the industry trend of monetising frontier models and from Meta's own history of open-source releases.
Why now: It is unusual for Meta to keep high-performing models closed and unmonetised, prompting speculation about its AI strategy.
