Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 235

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is a global technology company. On February 4^th, Piper Sandler’s research reported by Benzinga discovered a less optimistic outlook for the company in the artificial intelligence race. After CEO Mark Zuckerberg noted that the company is “still digesting” some of the “novel things” Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has done, the firm reflected on insights from a data center engineering expert. The crux of the matter is that Meta is clearly behind its competitors. The Piper Sandler note has revealed that DeepSeek is ahead of Meta’s latest Llama model, but lags behind OpenAI and Anthropic by about six months. The firm further indicates that Meta has substantial ground to make up for in the rapidly changing AI landscape.

“In terms of the tricks and methodology applied by DeepSeek, the leading labs such as OpenAI and Anthropic are fully aware of such methodologies and also employ these but such is not the case of Meta which is clearly behind.”
