The report indicates that this action will align Meta more with the strategies of rivals Google and OpenAI, marking the company's biggest shift from the open-source approach it has advocated for a long time.
Sources from Bloomberg mentioned that Meta's newly appointed AI director, Alexandr Wang, supports closed AI models.
In early 2025, the platform's approach altered markedly with the launch of its open-source AI model, Llama 4.
This frustrated Silicon Valley and the platform's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, who dismissed part of the project team and hired experts, sometimes offering them multi-year compensation deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Wang became part of Meta following a $14.3 billion investment agreement, as reported by the media.
The report states that the platform’s CEO is currently dedicating significant time to a new group named TBD Lab and is directly involved in pivoting the company's emphasis towards a profit-generating AI model.
