However, Musk recently offered a rare compliment to Zuckerberg after Meta released its latest AI model, Llama 3.1. Musk praised Zuckerberg for open-sourcing the model, which Meta claims can outperform OpenAI's GPT-40.

Musk's decision to start xAI was influenced by his disagreements with his cofounders at OpenAI. Musk criticized OpenAI for transitioning from an open-source, non-profit organization to a closed-source, profit-driven entity controlled by Microsoft.

Zuckerberg shares Musk's belief in the importance of open source for the future of AI. He emphasized the necessity of open source in a recent blog post, stating that he believes open source AI models will lead to a safer AI future. Zuckerberg also predicted that governments will recognize the benefits of supporting open source AI for global prosperity and security.
