This move marks a significant departure from Meta’s long-standing advocacy of open source. Zuckerberg is devoting a large amount of time to a core team called TBD Lab, which, during the training of Avocado, even integrated third-party models including Google Gemma, OpenAI gpt-oss, and Alibaba Qwen. Meanwhile, Meta is making major adjustments in resource allocation, cutting investments in the metaverse and virtual reality, redirecting funds toward hardware such as AI glasses, and planning to invest $600 billion in AI infrastructure in the United States over the next three years.
