Summary from the TLDR newsletter

When Meta released its AI, it made the technology freely available, largely the opposite of what Google, OpenAI, and Microsoft have done. Mark Zuckerberg has become the highest-profile technology executive to support and promote the open-source model for AI. While other companies are using a closed strategy to guard their technology, Zuckerberg believes that the technology is so important and the opportunities are so great that it should be made widely available so that everyone can benefit. The decision to open source Meta's AI tech was well-received and made Zuckerberg a lot more popular in tech circles.
