It’s going to be so much easier to push these models out to the edge if they are open source (see ggml, diffusion bee etc).

This won’t be possible without accelerator compute for training. Open source developers can’t afford this compute.

Apple benefits because they can deploy on iOS devices. Amazon benefits because they can tarball the models and sell it as a managed service.

I don’t think either wants to be in the business of figuring out which researchers is going to use the compute for deep fakes or for the next big model.

So something like Stability should exist, Amazon and Apple should figure out how to make that happen.
