On December 11th, Bloomberg disclosed that during the development of its new artificial intelligence model, codenamed 'Avocado', Meta utilized Alibaba's open-source Qwen model for distillation optimization. This strategic move coincides with Zuckerberg's significant investment in assembling a top-tier team, aiming to reverse the downward trajectory in large-scale model research and development. Market analysts observe that this development not only underscores the technological sophistication of China's open-source large-scale models but also fuels conjecture that Meta might be contemplating a departure from its purely open-source approach, pivoting towards a closed-source model for enhanced profitability.
