Has there been any clear information from Meta over whether their new superintelligence initiative is going to still be open weights first? Or will they follow Google & OpenAI and keep frontier models closed & release less capable models open weights? Or are they entirely closed?

Don't build bad things. I have taught entrepreneurship for over a decade, been a founder myself, and all I can say is that you have agency over what you choose to do, and you can refuse to do bad things (or fund bad things, VCs), even if that idea would make you a lot of money.

By

Just a reminder that you can build a lot of different things with AI, and some of them can clearly help the world & some of them are going to make the world worse. In addition to AI labs and AI users having responsibility for outcomes, all you builders and startup folks do, too.

By

Given the many issues with the system prompt, I really want to see the current version for Grok 3 (X answerbot) and Grok 4 (when it comes out). Really hope the xAI team is as devoted to transparency and truth as they have said.
