Meta Commercial AI Tools Anticipated Soon

Meta will soon provide a commercial AI model that can write code, images, and text

According to a Financial Times report, Meta intends to market a commercial version of its artificial intelligence model to boost usage.

The company released its large language mode (LLM) for researchers and academics, LLaMa, recently, but sources near Meta said that the new version will be more accessible and adaptable for businesses.

Meta is trying to position itself to be competitive with OpenAI and Google, the market leaders who created ChatGPT with Microsoft's support.

Businesses and startups can use Meta's AI technology and the commercial version of LLaMa to build custom software and applications.

Meta's models are free and open-source for now, but the company is considering a paid version for enterprise customers, according to two sources from FT. However, that won't be part of the upcoming release.

The commercial version is coming "quickly", the FT source says.

Meta has also made its LLM models open-source, which means anyone can see how the system works. This is different from its competitors like OpenAI, which keeps its code secret from outsiders.

Meta is facing a lawsuit from creator Sarah Silverman and two other creators who represent a class of copyright owners in the US. They accuse Meta of violating its copyrights while training its AI tools. OpenAI faces a similar lawsuit that claims the company has stolen data to train its models.
