Feels like Meta is going to Cloud services business but in AI domain. They resisted entering cloud business for so long, with the success of AWS/Azure/GCP I think they are realizing they can't keep at the top only with social networks without owning a platform (hardware, cloud)

They seem to see tge writing on the wall and have been panicked for a while, yes.

Gobbling up rising brands kept their finances going for a while, but the grand Metaverse pivot was clearly their (much struggling) attempt to invent their own titanic platform akin to Android or iPhone.

With that not gaining as much traction as they wanted as quickly as they wanted, they're still on the hunt, as here.

SAM's a really cool model, that's something to look forward to. I didn't see that in the LlamaCon notes, is that something they've announced elsewhere or just a rumor atm?

There is a potential world where Meta uses AI as a vector to tap into the home.

Like, literally building smart homes.

Locally intelligent in ways that enable truly magical smart home experiences while preserving privacy and building trust.

But connected in ways that facilitate pseudo-social interactions, entertainment, and commerce.

Meta's biggest competitors are Apple and Amazon. This is the first clear opportunity they've had to leapfrog both.
