  "transcript": "Saw this article today and it genuinely surprised me\n\nMeta has been using Gemini for customer service, ad tools, content moderation, all of it. and apparently chose it because it worked better than their own Llama models and then Google cut them off because Meta was consuming too much capacity.\n\nNow employees are being told to watch their token usage. This is the same company that was pushing staff to use more AI just a few months ago. Idk man, of all the companies to run out of AI capacity\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[45 upvotes] imagine building your own open source models and then secretly using competitor because yours cant handle the job. that's some next level irony\n\n  \nwonder how many companies actually do this behind the scenes, probably more than we think\n\n[12 upvotes] \\> Saw this article today.\n\nWhat article? Why isn't a link to it in the post?\n\n[7 upvotes] what article",
