“Fascinating article - a leaked internal doc from a Google researcher stating that both Open AI and Google will lose the #Artificial Intelligence race to open source.

Who benefits? Amazingly, Meta, because their leaked model is what the open source community has been building off of” h/t @Alex

Amazing doc. Not sure what I think about it but definitely agree with "LoRA is an incredibly powerful technique we should probably be paying more attention to." ;)

Sam mentioned that GPT4 is result of 100s of manual/proprietary tweaks which seems like small moat tho.  

While I believe communities often beat companies, open vs closed is in a sense like Android vs iOS. You could argue the one who control both hardware and software architecture will control the user experience better and in turn fine tune the AI. And companies have the capabilities to do just that….

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman seemed to acknowledge the DeepSeek challenge this week and said on Reddit that the company is considering releasing some model weights—or the settings that determine how a model responds to questions—publicly. “I personally think we have been on the wrong side of history here and need to figure out a different open source strategy,” he wrote. theinformation.com/articl..

the models are open source, so everyone is free to use the same techniques going forward. And lower costs also mean lower barriers to entry, while more market entrants could increase demand for chips. This is Jevons paradox, where improved efficiency of a resource increases consumption of it. scmp.com/business/china-b..

Since DeepSeek’s release, Meta has been ramping up efforts to make its open-source AI model, Llama, a serious contender—courting enterprise customers and even the U.S. government. The company is now building a go-to-market strategy that could mirror business models used by other open-source AI firms. But questions remain about whether Llama can catch up to competitors like DeepSeek, which has focused on efficiency and cost-effectiveness from the start. theinformation.com/articl.. #The Information
