open source

“So there's nothing out there today in open source that is like GPT four, three, five or anthropic cloud quality, right? So there is a, there's one player out in front and that's open AI”

“So my take is that foundation models will all be open source for the deep learning phase.”

“If you know, remove the open source from that equation, if they wouldn't have been as much open source at As there's been in the five past five years, we would be like decades away from, you know, where, where we are now.”

“Building in the open with open source is actually more part of the solution than part of the problem, because obviously control of power as you democratize it much more and biases you actually include in the process. People who are impacted by these biases,…”

“There's been a major pro, which is that all our competitors are open source. And what that means is that they don't get to see how users actually use their software. And so I think our software is a lot more ergonomic because we have like metrics on what peopl…”

“Today going, banning open source, preventing it from happening is really a way, well, to enforce regulatory capture, even though the actors that would benefit from it, Don't want it to happen. But by design, if you actually ban small actors from doing things i…”

“One of the things with the cloud providers too, is because you have sort of default customer demand, you launch one of these services using the open source. In many cases, you'll, you'll have existing customers that want to use it. And so then you're immediate…”

“And in fact, if you look at statistics, even companies that are open source, 99% of the contributions are actually from the company itself. Not 99, but high nineties.”

“I think it's very it's very likely at this point that you end this year with a handful of GPT-IV level models, and that some of those are open source, right?”

“So I think until open source can really move the needle on one of those two axes, it's going to be tough for it to be adopted broadly.”

“As much as there's innovation on proprietary models and software, there is as equal amount of innovation in open source.”

“You know, like until last a year and a half ago, I was in California, along with all of you, California almost passed SB, which if that had happened, it would have been the end of open source, by the way, in the United States, we would not have a Lama. We woul…”

“If you have a model up on hugging face and somebody downloads a final gigabyte file and the thousands of students and researchers just kind of pounding away on that, I think there's a good chance they're going to find issues a lot better than a very small safe…”

“The Biden administration really, really tried to scare people about open source, talk about how unsafe it was. SB. And obviously tried to kind of basically ban it in many ways.”

“It's a very traditional form of regulatory capture. If you have a big pharma company, they work with the government to prevent other entrants into the industry. And this is exactly what it felt like is at least partially happening. In the AI world. Now that ma…”

“No country in the world contributes more to open source than China.”

“Without open source, as you know, startups would be challenged. Companies that are in, in different industries, whether it's manufacturing, or transportation, or it could be in healthcare. Without open source today, all of that AI work would be suffocated.”

“And right now, beside the agentic AI, now you're looking at physical AI, it's a mixed big frontier, and then you have to really look at a full stack. That's why I'm still involved with a lot of this frontier model that we very familiar, and some of the investm…”
