Summary from the TLDR newsletter

A small group of members in Meta's newly formed superintelligence lab last week discussed the possibility of abandoning the company's most powerful open source AI model, Behemoth, in favor of developing a closed model. Meta has chosen to open source its AI models for years, with executives arguing that it is better for the technology to be public to accelerate AI development and make the technology more accessible to developers. A move to a closed AI model would be a philosophical change as much as a technical one. Meta has been delaying the release of its Behemoth model due to its poor internal performance.
