Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<\/a>META<\/a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company will continue building its own frontier AI models rather than relying on third-party open-source alternatives, saying today’s open-source models lag behind the industry’s most advanced systems and that depending on other companies’ technology carries strategic risks. <\/p>\n

Rejects an Open-Source-Only AI Strategy <\/p>\n

During the company’s second-quarter earnings call, Zuckerberg said the company cannot rely on third-party open-source AI models and will continue building its own frontier models. <\/p>\n

“Right now, the open-source models are not as strong as the frontier models, so no is the basic answer,” Zuckerberg said. <\/p>\n

He added that Meta believes it can build better models internally and does not see relying on other companies’ AI technology as the right long-term strategy. <\/p>\n

“I think we’re going to be able to do better work, and we think that there’s some risk in that reliance,” the CEO said. <\/p>\n

Open Source Will Remain ‘a Big Part’ of AI Strategy <\/p>\n

Despite emphasizing the need to build frontier models in-house, Zuckerberg said Meta has no plans to abandon its open-source approach. <\/p>\n

“We expect that we will get back to releasing some open source models at some point soon. Like we’ve always said, we’re not dogmatic about this,” he added. <\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<\/a>NVDA<\/a>) CEO Jensen Huang said the world needs<\/a> “both frontier closed models and frontier open models.” <\/p>\n
