Meta, arch-rival Apple team up, release open-weight AI model to catch up with China
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has unveiled a new open-weight artificial intelligence (AI) model called "Muse Spark Open". The model, which has 8160 billion parameters, is said to be the best open-weight model developed in the US to date. Meta has also collaborated with Apple, despite previous conflicts, to make the model compatible with Apple's Mac Studio desktop.
The model can be downloaded and run on a high-performance desktop, expanding its usage possibilities. This move is seen as an attempt by Meta to increase the influence of US-made models in the open-weight market, which has been dominated by Chinese companies.
