Speaking at the G20 innovation ministerial, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg argued that open models put power in individual developers' hands, so they aren't dependent on a small number of frontier labs for something so critical.
He then added that Meta builds both open and closed models. As observers noted, both halves are the strategy: open source builds goodwill and regulatory cover, while the closed track preserves commercial flexibility.
