Meta and Microsoft teamed up to develop Llama 2, a model that doesn't replace GPT-4, but can challenge gpt-3.5-turbo by OpenAI.

Why does Microsoft collaborate with other firms like this? What's in it for them?

> As Satya Nadella announced on stage at Microsoft Inspire, we’re taking our partnership to the next level with Microsoft as our preferred partner for Llama 2 and expanding our efforts in generative AI. Starting today, Llama 2 is available in the Azure AI model catalog, enabling developers using Microsoft Azure to build with it and leverage their cloud-native tools for content filtering and safety features. It is also optimized to run locally on Windows, giving developers a seamless workflow as they bring generative AI experiences to customers across different platforms. Llama 2 is available through Amazon Web Services (AWS), Hugging Face, and other providers too.
They teamed up to host Llama V2. Meta does not need Microsoft's help to curate the dataset or train the model.

They probably got access to all the Facebook and Instagram data used to train Llama2 to use for their own model training.
