Mark Zuckerberg explained how Meta will crush Google and Microsoft at AI—and Meta warned it could cost more than $30 billion a year

The Facebook cofounder said the vast trove of photos and videos shared by users on Meta's various services is larger than the web content crawled by search engines like those of Google and Microsoft.

It was a not-so-subtle jab at competitors Google, Microsoft and OpenAI, which are training their AI models on the public web data crawled by their search engines every day. And the company suggested this could be the new normal, noting that “we expect our ambitious long-term AI research and product development efforts will require growing infrastructure investments beyond this year.” Still, Google AI is close-sourced so can only move as fast as engineering talent, whereas Zuckerberg pointed to his company’s open source Llama model as another key advantage.
