Good news for folks looking to degoogle their phones, this should help open-source Google Maps alternatives.
Straight from their FAQ on the relationship with OSM:
What is the relationship between Overture and OpenStreetMap?
Overture is a data-centric map project, not a community of individual map editors. Therefore, Overture is intended to be complementary to OSM. We combine OSM with other sources to produce new open map data sets. Overture data will be available for use by the OpenStreetMap community under compatible open data licenses. Overture members are encouraged to contribute to OSM directly.
A bit off-topic but Microsoft and Meta are members of the PyTorch Foundation and so far their involvement has been very positive. Microsoft has its Azure cloud solutions and needs PyTorch to thrive to counter Google’s Tensorflow and JAX which are pushing people towards Google Cloud TPUs. It’s hard to EEE when many of them are involved in the same foundation.
I personally do like MS and Facebook’s open-source contributions even though I think Facebook’s entire product stack is terrible, which is what you get when you have a lot of smart people on the payroll but terrible leadership.
Also, I think Tensorflow isn’t really a thing for newer projects, since from what I read PyTorch is very dominant right now.
