Using the least expensive model of Claude

Meta makes LLMs. They’ve made multiple, some of them are even tailored for coding.

Why are they using Anthropic’s AI instead of their own?

I can only imagine there’s some sort of ouroboros slop machine money laundering cycle going on or something

Because their LLMs suck, and they still want their devs to be productive, while watching their usage to train the internal models.

They give you a choice, and no one is using the internal models.
