Yann LeCun says Meta AI ‘quickly becoming most used’ assistant, challenging OpenAI’s dominance


Meta challenges OpenAI with Llama 3.1, an open-source AI model rivaling GPT-4o, as Yann LeCun claims Meta AI is becoming the most widely used AI assistant.

“Open source will ensure that more people around the world have access to the benefits and opportunities of AI,” Zuckerberg said, in what appears to be a direct challenge to OpenAI’s business model. Wall Street analysts have expressed skepticism about Meta’s open-source strategy, questioning its potential for monetization, especially when compared to OpenAI’s reported $3.4 billion annualized revenue. Meta claims to have implemented robust safety measures, but the long-term implications of widely available advanced AI remain a topic of debate among experts.
