Summary: According to a report, Meta contacted other big companies so that they could help the Lama in the fund. These companies included Amazon and Microsoft.
AI is an expensive enterprise, everyone knows that. This is the reason that the training models of most companies are large multiple and multi-trilian-dollars corporations. Even Deepsek, which claimed to train R1 at only a few million dollars, may have spent up to one billion dollars.
Meta is one of the huge companies that train the AI model. Its family of the model comes under the name Lama, and the company released its Lama 4 models. We know that it has capital to fund these models, but it seems that Meta wanted a little help.
Meta asked other companies to help Fund Lama
The company that owns Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp and other big brands, is not a stranger for her undertakings to fire billions of dollars. AI is not different, as its Lama model has added to billions of dollars.
Meta seems to require some help as it had reached out to major companies like Microsoft and Amazon to help the Lama to fund. This is strange, because the meta is not a small startup. It is one of the most valuable in the world.
In any case, according to four people in the case (through information), Meta offered these companies to encourage such as “allowed them to affect the feature development of the Lama.” We do not know what meta means, but it will look very attractive.
As it could be, it seemed that many companies were not sold on it. In the case of Microsoft and Amazon, both these companies are paying to train their own models. Therefore, paying to train their competition does not seem very attractive.
Meta is just fixing without help. Its new models are the best prepared to introduce Google and Openai.
