Meta is reportedly exploring potential collaborations with Google and OpenAI to integrate their AI models into Meta's suite of applications. This move could enhance AI capabilities across platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp. Meta is already working on Llama 4, and has released Llama 3.1, an open source AI model. Zuckerberg has stated that the Llama models are some of the most advanced in the world. Meta is aiming to compete with current AI models.
The potential partnerships highlight the increasing competition in the AI sector, with companies vying for dominance in multimodal AI, which combines text, images, audio, and video. Meta's exploration of external AI models suggests a strategic approach to bolster its AI offerings and remain competitive.
Google has joined the EU code for AI models, while Meta has rebuffed. Meta has nearly 4 billion users across its platforms.
