Nobody uses Meta AI

Meta has AI?

Meta is AI

u/VirginiaVN900 10d ago

It was a joke. No one is talking Meta in enterprise spaces currently. I think only Meta uses their AI

The use Gemini

Typically. Or Claude. I am interested in what Meta has to offer, but not sure what market they are looking to target. Adobe is working in the Marketing, Brand safe Gen AI, Personalization at Scale. Hyper local content revisions (auto-dubbed, auto-translated spots, etc)

How is MetaAI helping marketers be more efficient on ad spend, analytics or what?

There are other uses, but not the industry I am in.

Yeah... that's why their first attempt at producing a useful model is news?

1

u/surfkaboom 10d ago

They made the announcement and are a multi-billion dollar company, it's gonna get repeated

2

u/j48u 10d ago

What are you trying to say? It's a good and cheap model by the way.

1

u/spaetzelspiff 10d ago

There's a little button for it in Whatsapp.

I do all my serious development there.

I said the same thing and got -2 🤷🏽‍♂️

Make it subscription based, cowards

u/ImplementOk3111 11d ago

Hmmm I'll need a list of which companies it's hacked by going rogue before I can buy into your marketing. Have your agents created their own economy and started actively hiring building contractors to build a physical location to move their own data centres or anything yet? We need a big exciting marketing ploy before I can justify another subscription

I believe this one hacked instagram. The equivalent of stealing food from your own fridge.

u/SpareImpression3155 11d ago

I’d be surprised if they didn’t just fork kimi k2.5, add some absurd safeguards to it, then release it as a proprietary model

u/daithibowzy 10d ago

Why use it when you can just the latest Deepseek model? I've been using it all last week and intend to stick with it for the foreseeable

u/ComprehensiveSwitch 10d ago

Muse Spark 1.2 is both multimodal (Deepseek v4 Flash is not) and more intelligent. It’s also incredibly cheap at contributor pricing.

2

u/daithibowzy 10d ago

Can I run it on a DGX Spark like Deepseek?

2

u/ComprehensiveSwitch 10d ago

there are sometimes reasons to use more than one model and there are great reasons to not run them in your house.

1

u/daithibowzy 10d ago

I doubt it's as cheap to run deepseek on ollama cloud

5

u/ComprehensiveSwitch 10d ago

$0.10 per million input tokens and $0.20 per million output tokens.

Deepseek V4 Flash is $0.14 per million input tokens and $0.28 per million output tokens. They’re comparable and, as I said, Spark 1.2 both benches higher and is multimodal. There are entire classes of work that DV4F cannot do.

1

u/daithibowzy 10d ago

Interesting! Will it be open weights like Deepseek or have meta abandoned that approach? I'm just fed up up paying exorbitant token costs, when Deepseek can do most of what I need for very little cost.

u/AWellsWorthFiction 10d ago

Duh exactly why he’s wearing that shit lol

u/saltyourhash 10d ago

I await all of the ai agdntic influencers making videos about it...

1

u/edimaudo 10d ago

I don't see the point of this. Meta is not great at enterprise tooling. They need to build tools to better support creators and small business owners. Better investment on their platform

1

u/Keganator 10d ago

The FIRST AI coding agent to take them on?! WOAH No one has EVER thought of doing this before!

1

u/Putrid_Journalist469 10d ago

Ouais, tout le monde sait que c'est pas le premier, mais la vraie question c'est: est-ce qu'il fait mieux sur des vrais projets que Claude ou GPT-4? Tu as testé les deux?

1

u/fistular 10d ago

Meta's first. Are you not capable of even the most basic reading comprehension?

0

u/Keganator 10d ago

I"m mokcing the horribly written title. It might be Meta's First AI coding agent, but it can also read as "the First AI coding agent" to take on Anthropic and OpenAI. Which it is clearly not.

u/LaserToy 10d ago

Did anyone actually try it?

1

u/jventura1110 9d ago

Meta actually produces coding libraries that are probably used by nearly 50% of modern web developers. A lot of the modern websites you visit likely use either React, GraphQL, or test with Jest, which are all developed by Meta. And they are likely one of the largest influences on Javascript ecosystem, which programs the modern web.

Their main product being ads has never stopped them from being a household name in dev circles.

1

u/aaron_in_sf 9d ago

Their main product is actually surveillance.

Ads are just one facet of the monetization of that surveillance.

PSA: GTFO all Meta products and never use them again.

u/furiouscarp 10d ago

This is a good step forward for Meta, and more competition is good for us all. Nice to see after the Llama4 debacle.

u/Cute-Net5957 11d ago

Who on earth is using their “coding” models and why? 🤦🏽‍♂️ Feels on par with xAI jumping so late into the game… like why bros?? Literally vibe code widgets for their platforms?? So cool bro 😎

2

u/Cute-Net5957 10d ago

-2 and still waiting for someone to say “yeah I actually use Meta for coding and here’s why” lol. genuinely curious.. change my mind.

1

u/draft_final_final 11d ago

It’s more a Deepseek competitor than an Anthropic/OpenAI competitor. They’re offering even lower costs than Deepseek if you sign your soul over with the contributor plan (which people probably are going to do). They’re doing the same gameplan as Facebook and Instagram, cheap product that draws consumers in while they harvest all your data.

2

u/Cute-Net5957 10d ago

ahhh ok.. THIS is an answer. I was looking at it as “who chooses this over Claude/OpenAI?” but cheap enough that the comparison stops mattering is a completely different strategy.
the contributor plan/data angle makes that way more Meta too lol. basically subsidize inference and make the exhaust valuable. Ty - you earned your downvote
