Research Labs

“This is something that a lot of people think is mutually exclusive, right? People think either you can be a research lab or you're a product company. Yeah. We, I think what we did was we said, no, no, no, that's not, we don't think those two things are not pos…”

“Yeah, like all of the FrankenMoe stuff, like all of the Axolotl library, like all of these tools, and there were papers published by different companies and research labs one or two years later that were rediscovering what was already done by The Reddit or Dis…”

“What is happening right now is that it's the Chinese companies that are publishing their work. And what then happens is all the universities, all the students and professors in our country are looking at their work and figuring out how to build on top of it. A…”

“And now with FAL's position in the market, we also get some early information from the research labs. Everyone like tries to talk to us. And release their models on file on day zero.”

“But in general, where there is compute, the research labs will find you know, and so I think that's it.”

“And I think like, I think it is very likely to be a big mover in the ecosystem because if they sponsor some Baseline of models that are big enough to be valuable, high quality enough to be valuable with Facebook AI research. And then enough people find these m…”

“I am just continuously struck by the number of times the hot new innovation that we see, or the hot new innovation that becomes, you know, this huge thing, is something that was running, virtually, invariably, was running in a research lab 20 years earlier.”

“And I do think we've done one of the more interesting research labs of the last couple of decades. The world isn't set up to support this anymore, and I, and it's a very interesting question about why.”
