Meta predicted its generative AI products would generate $2 billion to $3 billion in revenue in 2025 and potentially reach between $460 billion to $1.4 trillion by 2035.
The court documents revealed that Meta has revenue-sharing agreements for its open Llama collection of models, launched an API for customizing and evaluating Llama models, and plans to monetize Meta AI with ads and subscription options.
Meta is heavily investing in its AI product groups, with the GenAI budget exceeding $900 million in 2024 and potentially crossing $1 billion this year, excluding infrastructure costs.
There were discussions of Meta potentially spending millions to acquire training data for Llama from authors but allegedly opted for controversial methods like mass ebook piracy. Meta has not yet commented on these claims.
