Hey Reddit,
I'm reading up on some of the latest tech developments -- notably, Llama 3 is impressive - and it's completely free.
Now, they seem to have announced that they'll spend $40 billion on NVIDIA H100 GPUs to scale their data centers to the next level in order to train Llama 3 and other models.
I know they want to reach AGI.
But why are they releasing the Llama models for free to the community? Why not follow a more closed-source approach? How do they plan to monetize vs other players? What is Zuck's secret plan?
If you spend $40B on hardware, you should see some kind of ROI very soon as a good capital allocator.
Speculation allowed!
