The AI race is experiencing a significant shift as attention moves from the AI models themselves to the products they power. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, is leading efforts to reduce the cost of accessing foundational AI models, with Llama 3.1 being a notable development in this direction. Zuckerberg envisions a market dynamic similar to the Linux versus Unix scenario in the early 2000s, where open standards drove down costs and increased adoption.
