Should Meta AI be Worried?

After open-sourcing the best AI models, such as Stable Diffusion, Stability AI recently unveiled Stable LM 3B, built for running on-edge devices. Meta AI, considered one of the proponents of open-source AI with the Llama 2 release, now seems to have some real competition besides Falcon and Mistral 7B.

Meta is possibly heading the closed-source way. In a recent podcast with Lex Fridman, Mark Zuckerberg said that he is still on the fence about deciding whether to open source the next iteration of their LLM, Llama 3. This is similar to how all companies that started as open-source drives, such as OpenAI, become closed-source. Mistral AI also has similar plans.
