zuckerberg

ifeng.com technology news, september 30, beijing time, meta ceo mark zuckerberg defined 2023 as a "year of efficiency" in response to the company's difficulties. he cut thousands of jobs, eliminated layers of management and took other radical steps to save meta money.

zuckerberg's efforts continued into 2024, as he continued to cut vice president levels and took more cost-cutting measures. however, meta is also investing heavily in artificial intelligence, gpus and data centers to compete with openai, microsoft, google and amazon.

so, is zuckerberg still obsessed with “efficiency”?last week, meta gave an important hint at the meta connect developer conference in silicon valley.

technology journalist pranav dixit attended the conference and noticed that the wifi password for the event was "effici3ncy", which stands for efficiency, but with the e replaced by 3 (probably to increase password strength). in the tech world, other companies are using 3 instead of e. for example, tesla originally wanted to name its model 3 model e, but due to a trademark dispute, it was forced to change the e to 3 written upside down.

later, dixit posted the details on the meta social platform threads. as a result, zuckerberg gave it a like. this is an important hint,it shows that zuckerberg is still focused on controlling the company's costs, even as he is also promoting expensive artificial intelligence projects such as the llama open source ai model.

as of press time, meta has not yet commented. (author/xiao yu)
