Comment on The future of foundation models is closed-source

nice try but this is clumsy and one-dimensional in the parts that matter.. proof of unsuitability for purpose in this essay is that Mark F'in Zuckerberg is quoted directly as if that means anything.. (the guy is a liar). Secondly, LLMs are not the only AI application, they are the application that Joe Ordinary is going to get stuck talking to about your insurance premium; thirdly China is at this time arguably better at many AI tasks than anyone.. so a thin claim that China wants to copy something for free and nothing else, shows lack of sophistication.

The race is on behind the scenes, and the dollar valuations are proof of it. This essay starts a worthwhile conversation about the nature of the reproducible builds beast, but has little to bring in the way of insights or revelations IMHO
