I don't think this is a money making move. The previous CEO was absolutely overly focused on monetization and this move is a step away from that. I should've addressed this more explicitly in the above comment but even for the players who actively monetize, AI is a money incinerator.
Cloud AI is, but for local AI, they only need to incinerate enough money to train it. That's none if they just end up using mixtral or something
I agree it's probably not for money making, that's my point, its instead that their management doesn't know how to spend money.
