The backbone of the internet is underwater, which is why we continue to invest in connectivity infrastructure like Project Waterworth. 🌊 It’s anchored by hundreds of subsea cables that account for over 95% of intercontinental digital communication, video experiences, online transactions, and more. Many of these cables chart similar courses through the oceans connecting a couple of continents at a time. “However, as AI continues to transform industries and societies around the world, we’ll need even more capacity, resilience, and global reach than ever before.” - Santosh J., Head of Global Infrastructure at Meta Project Waterworth will be a multi-billion dollar, multi-year subsea cable investment to strengthen the scale and reliability of the world’s digital highways. We’ve plotted a course of over 50,000 km (31,000 miles), longer than the Earth’s circumference, through three new oceanic corridors to connect five continents at a time. This next-generation digital highway will power AI-driven transformation, fuel economic growth, and expand digital inclusion across the U.S., India, Brazil, South Africa, and beyond. 🌎 📡 See how we’re investing in Project Waterworth to help ensure that the benefits of AI and other emerging technologies are available to everyone, regardless of where they live or work. https://lnkd.in/dZZ7wiWv #AI #AIInfrastructure #TechForGood

I tend to keep my head down and focus on doing the actual work that will help propel AI forward but I’ve heard some things last few weeks that got me thinking. And while I don’t know where this will all go (anyone who thinks they can predict the direction of a once in a lifetime technology is at best, guessing), here are a few things I *do* know: 📌 AI is not a zero sum game. The power of open source is that it is a fluid process of rapid iteration and collective advancement. We learn from each other and the collective work feeds off itself – that is how this all works. We have learned so much already that we are applying to the development of Llama 4 which will be omni-model, focused on agentic capabilities and much more. I will begin sharing more on learnings that guided how we built Llama 4 and I am confident the models will speak for themselves – so stay tuned, more coming soon. 📌 The more people who have access to AI, the quicker & more effectively we can solve problems around the world. In the early days when we were discussing whether Llama should be open source, I knew that the only way to meaningfully advance AI was by opening it up. It is naive to think one company or closed system can accelerate the pace of innovation faster than an entire community. I believe everyone in the industry will be playing their best games if we push each other as hard as possible every single day. 📌 US companies must push for greater collaboration and transparency. Open source has proven to be the approach that will drive the most rapid rate of innovation but now it is about building with integrity and transparency. Meta has been the clear leader in this space and our conviction in transparent, responsible, and collaborative open source AI is unwavering. 📌 📣 Llama models have been downloaded more than 800 million times around the world.🚀 In barely 2 years, the Meta GenAI team built open source models that have transformed the industry. We took a big bet and created an entire ecosystem in which innovation is advancing at the most rapid pace we’ve ever seen around the world. On a personal note, I am so proud of my GenAI org. In barely 24 months, we have transformed the industry – over 800 million times 🙂 To everyone reading this, I have more thoughts which I will try to share more often but I’ve been busy ;) But watch this space – more coming very soon.
