For the adventurous, Meta would likely provide tools, resources, and UI kits for developing bespoke threads.net apps. Thanks to Llama, Meta's open-source AI development tool, almost anyone can build their very own social media platform.
Really lost me here. To frame that llama is part of a strategic plan to enable a wider pool of developers really feels like a stretch. For one thing, access to gpt and copilot is already pretty reasonable compared to the price of GPUs. The code quality from open models is improving, but unless you already know quite a bit about programming, you’ll struggle to make something work.
Wow, I hope MS doesn't end up making it worse to keep the same pricing. I mean open source models and other closed competitors are both catching up at incredible speeds, but for now Copilot is extremely convenient and I'd pay 2x if the price were to increase to keep the same quality or to increase it.

Yes it does feel nonsensical to mention it, it did put me off as author in this case has no idea what he’s talking about.
He could have said that llama to openai is as activitypub endorsement is to x strategy wise - that could hold.
Copilot/etc are also sold at a loss so GPU prices are really not priced in correctly yet for end users.
Nat Friedman has tweeted that this is false.
Any reference for this? I would have guessed Copilot and Tabnine were both making money.
They are, the WSJ were speculating and people ran with it. Nat Friedman said Copilot is profitable: https://twitter.com/natfriedman/status/1712140497127342404
