    FWIW facebook makes a ton of tools useful for AI computing, and most if not all of the free AI resources I use, depend on at least some fb developed tools. I know it doesn’t answer your question, but thought it would be of interest.

      I understand, but no company (especially Facebook) would spend money on something if they didn’t see a return from it (I remember 20 years ago Google received a lot of praise for being different, now we know they aren’t). When a company like Facebook or Google open source something it is to:

      • have free contributors to technology they use internally
      • make sure that their standard dominates so they can still steer in the direction they want
