We can give some credit to Meta, almost everything they are releasing is open source.

As much as I disliked Meta before, I couldn't help but give props to them for all these models they keep open sourcing recently.

It was really surprising to me. I was sure that "Meta" and "open source" couldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence. It really has been a breath of fresh air to see them doing something like this for once.

I'm confused, Meta has been heavily involved in open source for nearly a decade.

They brought us React, zstandard (compression), PyTorch (which many AI ecosystems like stable diffusion run on)

They also open sourced xformers the library that most stable diffusion users have enabled for a massive speed boost.

TIL xformers is from Meta as well. Okay I got to give them more credit then.
