The new memo is pretty meandering, and Zuckerberg followed up with comments on Meta’s Q2 earnings call, saying that nothing had particularly changed. He said the company had always “open-sourced some of our models and not open-sourced everything that we've done.”

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg told investors that his new research lab will focus on building AI models that can learn with minimal human input.
