2025-07-15

Meta's newly formed superintelligence lab is debating a potential overhaul of its AI strategy, possibly abandoning its powerful open-source model, Behemoth. According to the New York Times, internal discussions suggest a shift towards a closed-source model, a significant departure from Meta's traditional open-source approach. Behemoth, a 'frontier' model, was completed but delayed release due to performance issues and testing has since halted. Any decision requires CEO Mark Zuckerberg's approval.
