Meta plans to open-source parts of its new AI models

Meta plans to release parts of its new AI models as open source while keeping some components private and reviewing safety.

The largest models will remain proprietary and not be publicly released.

Alexandr Wang joined Meta in 2025 via a roughly $15 billion deal with Scale AI and led the new models.

Meta's strategy focuses on consumer reach through WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram rather than enterprise and government customers.
