He's certainly smart enough to contribute to the work, if he had the time and wanted to do it.

But in all likelihood his contribution to Llama 3 consisted of... approving Llama 3.

Not sure why would this be surprising, he built a smart assistant in 2016: https://www.businessinsider.com/how-mark-zuckerberg-personal...

He does seem genuinely passionate about it during interviews so makes sense that he spent some time on it

Eh, poor guys base salary pathetic, like $1/yr

Mark makes $1 a year. Now if we count his dividends sure, but I wouldnt say that those are payment for his work since he'd get them if he was working or not.
