On Monday, Meta announced it would open source its most powerful AI models and introduce new ones designed for consumer devices, as it aims to compete with leading labs like OpenAI and Anthropic.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the company will release the weights for its latest AI model, Muse Spark 1.2, allowing public download and use. Weights are the calculations and rules that define how the AI functions and behaves.
Zuckerberg also mentioned that the company plans to launch a new family of open-source models named Muse Glimmer, which are designed to operate on a laptop.
In the instagram post, Zuckerberg said: “Foreign labs currently hold several advantages here since American labs have to comply with many additional restrictions on training data. US policy must reduce this additional friction if we want American open source models to lead over time.”
“I do not believe restricting access to foreign open source models is an effective solution. Our goal should be for American open source models to be the best globally. This requires removing the hurdles that make it harder for American open source models to compete.”
Meta shares rose 2% following the announcement.
