Gary Marcus relays a message: Anthropic and Meta recently discussed a potential future deal where Meta would rent additional compute capacity to the AI startup. He comments that Meta is shifting from a 'frontier model company' to a 'cloud provider', a path similar to xAI. He also emphasizes: Scale is not everything, and simply piling on compute doesn't equate to having the ultimate advantage.
