Engineering at Meta

SEPTEMBER 7, 2023

Earlier this year, a small team of engineers at Meta started working on an idea for a new app. It would have all the features people expect from a text-based conversations app, but with one very key, distinctive goal – being an app that would allow people to share their content across multiple platforms. We wanted to build a decentralized (or federated) app that would enable people to post content that is viewable by anyone on other social apps, and vice versa.

There’s an increasing concern about the energy use and corresponding carbon emissions of generative AI models. And while the concerns may be overhyped, they still require attention, especially as generative AI becomes integrated into our modern life. Factors such as model architecture, transparency and quantization of models are required to decrease carbon emission from AI systems.
