I'll 🙇‍♂️ to your knowledge on social media, but I don't follow the tie to meta. The first time oracle (?!) wanted to buy it. This time it seems like they're looking for a sale minus the algo. I tried googling and I can't find evidence meta wants to buy the algo. Where has that come up?

I'm not convinced that the existence of something better as OSS means that everyone else will start using it. As an example: Amazon's shopping rec algorithm is horrible. Significantly worse than temu, ali, shein, marginally better than X ads. They have no true barriers in hiring nor resources.

I don't have a deep enough understanding to say what is missing, but expecting them to completely open source it seems logistically pointless. Is there evidence this is significantly worse than the present day system? Someone building can just start with this and improve over time.

They shared it on GitHub as of 2 years ago: github.com/bytedance/mo...

Can I sell this reply to your post to someone else so they can ask a minor question of the AI God?
