I think the analysts last Monday calling it the end of closed AI weren’t too far off after all. It’s wild too because basically no technology of any value isn’t commoditized in short order, so to think they could keep a billion-dollar moat around it forever shows some incredible hubris.
I’m really excited though, hopefully getting more and more parts of the complete contemporary AI tool chain into the FOSS world will make these tools available to access and for the benefit of the majority of people.
I agree, in a sea of bad news, this is some very good news.
I hope it continues and robs Musk, Thiel and the other Big Tech hobgoblins of the power they were dreaming AI would give them.
Bullets would do a better job of that. And let’s be real, they still have oodles of money and a desire to crush opposition. But it’s good their AI isnt a walled garden.
It’s the most delicious development of 2025, really. These tech bros we sure they found Gold when they convinced all investors that they needed billions to create these models but now it will all come crashing down.
A trillion-dollar moat.
These people live in a different fucking reality.
I suppose other parts of critical software insfrustructure (Linux) are also OSS too and only the specific uses are closed source.
That’s 22% worse.
That’s basically wrong half the time vs wrong 1/3 of the time.
Yes, but GPT-4 was at 7% and regarded as world best only months ago.
The true significance here, is that they’ve replicated the industry leader so easily and so quickly.
Imagine trying to shut down openAI when it’s open source and can just be changed slightly to be a different thing.
The US is just showing their hand to take another L
And it’s a great idea to pump another $500 billion into these people, why? …
