In this episode, we discuss Meta's potential shift to charging for its next flagship AI model codenamed Avocado, marking a significant departure from the company's open source approach with Llama models. We explore Mistral's release of two powerful open source coding models called Devstral 2, which benchmark faster than Claude and GPT-4 on certain coding tasks, and the Pentagon's launch of GenAI.mil featuring Google Gemini for Government across military operations. Learn how Meta is restructuring its AI operations under Mark Zuckerberg's leadership, why Mistral's 24 billion parameter model can run locally on laptops as a true Copilot alternative, and what Google Gemini's Impact Level 5 security clearance means for AI deployment in defense applications. These developments reveal contrasting strategies as Meta moves toward monetization, Mistral champions open source accessibility, and the Pentagon embraces generative AI for operational military workflows.
