Meta leans into open AI models and tighter Washington ties

The move is part of a broader effort to close gaps as competition in artificial intelligence intensifies.

Meta is pursuing a strategy centered on open AI models, stepping further into the “open” approach as it tries to keep pace in the artificial intelligence race, according to the NYT Business.

The outlet says the company is also building closer ties to Washington, positioning its AI push around engagement with policymakers while it works to narrow performance and capability differences.

Meta’s bet on open models reflects a shift in how the company intends to develop and deploy AI, as it seeks to increase momentum in a market where rivals are moving quickly.
