Earlier quoted context omitted.

Their new Contemplating mode gives this model a Deep Research ability (akin to existing models from GPT and Gemini) that might make it quite comparable to the just-announced Mythos.

Mythos is a much bigger pre train, Contemplating is not the same thing.

> Mythos is a much bigger pre train

Do we have data to substantiate that claim?

This would have been an amazing release 6 months ago. But the industry moves so fast, this is a trite release. Maybe it’s best for Meta to sell their superintelligence division. I don’t think Zuck’s vision is particularly compelling.

> I don’t think Zuck’s vision is particularly compelling. But he has to do it anyways, otherwise Meta can be disrupted easily. Google, Apple has hardware, distribution channels for their products Amazon has the marketplace and cloud Microsoft has enterprise and cloud Meta is always looking for ways to stay afloat

Meta has 3.5 billion daily active users

I never understood why meta decided to join the race. They don’t sell compute like Google or Microsoft. Why not let others do the hard work and integrate their LLMs in your systems if needed? I assume it’s because they have Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Thread data and feel they should be the ones using them for training, but it’s really not obvious how having a frontier AI lab benefits their business

Zuck is trying to convince himself he's good, and not just lucky.

How is that Meta spent so much money for talent and hardware, but the model barely matches Opus 4.6? Especially, looking at these numbers after Claude Mythos, feels like either Anthropic has some secret sauce, or everyone else is dumber compared to the talent Anthropic has

Facebook is working with the talent that can’t find a job at some other company. It doesn’t surprise me they ship mediocrity.

How's the metaverse doing? It was the next big thing and how we're all going to be working inside it in... was it like 3 months ago?

Maybe they need to mine more libra coin first? or is it diem now? is that even still part of meta?

I'm sure this new AI is super intelligent and super awesome and will be writing all the code, making all the blog posts, and generating all our youtube shorts in 6 months.

https://meta.ai/ this is where you can try it seems like the API is not publicly accessable yet. I feel they are very late to the game and do not show value to customers over other models.

late isn't the problem. private preview api and no reason to switch. that's just another hosted model

you dont understand why zuck, who paid $1B for instagram when they had no revenue and 7 employees because he is paranoid about platform shifts, decided to join the race for (what is seeming highly possibly) the biggest platform shift in human history?

Ran some of my internal benchmarks against this and I'm very unimpressed. I don't think this moves them into the OAI v Anthropic v Gemini conversation at all. Major analytical errors in their response to multiple of my technical questions.

Playing with this some more and it's actively not good. Just basic mathematical errors riddling responses. Did some basic adversarial testing where its responses are analyzed by Gemini and Gemini is finding basic math errors across every relatively (relative to Opus, Gemini or GPT can handle) simple ask I make. Yikes.
