I have absolutely never ever "asked" to stop R&D on LLMs. In fact, I was very supportive of LLM efforts at Meta. Just look up my public advocacy for Galactica (November 2022), and the open sourcing of OPT-175B (May 2022), and of the Llama herd (mid 2023). I was actually influential in convincing the Meta leadership to start an AI-first product division built around Llama in January 2023. I've always said that LLMs were impressive, useful, and had amazing potential. I've also always said they were an off-ramp on the path towards human-level AI. Stop making me say things I didn't say or claim that I somehow hindered LLM R&D at Meta. That's BS.
