The author provided an in-depth analysis of Meta's move to become an AI cloud provider (Neo Cloud). They pointed out that building and operating a multi-tenant AI cloud requires entirely new talent in distributed systems, security, and compliance, along with global infrastructure deployment. This demands massive capital expenditure, making it far more difficult than imagined.
The author believes that most companies attempting such a transition ultimately fail due to prohibitive costs. Based on industry trends over the past 20 years, they predict Meta might quietly abandon the project in a year or two once it realizes the sheer scale of resources required.
