People are going to say I'm a conspiracy theorist, but the number one goal I
00:00:03
believe in the large language model, frontier model space is to kill this open source product. This is a giant
00:00:11
movement to stop it because this is the equivalent of having an open- source Android like player in the market and
00:00:17
that could be incredibly disruptive. I believe open source is going to win the day on the large language models and
00:00:22
take 90% of the token usage. And I think the entire frontier model space could be
00:00:26
undercut by open source. And I think they realize that SLMs, the the smaller language models that are verticalized
00:00:33
now that will run on, you know, desktops and laptops and is even starting to run
00:00:37
on the top ones, that is their biggest competitive threat. And I hope it happens.
