About Meta
Meta ships the Llama family of open-weight foundation models and runs two of the field's most influential research groups: FAIR, led by Yann LeCun, and Meta Superintelligence Labs, led by Alexandr Wang. Its bet is that open models, distributed across billions of users on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Ray-Ban Meta glasses, are the fastest path to scale.
