@mystellial the goal is variance & competition, lots of great models... builders & students want open source for all the usual reasons, but we also want the future faster and recognize that capitalism funds the enormous expense of training sota models... so, all-of-the-above intelligence maxxing, while resisting regulations & anticompetitive practices that would reduce competition

Reply · Nov 8, 2025@TSBurkhardt i'm opposed on the general principle that more diversity in models is good and the cost of training these llms is so high that we don't…Reply · Apr 11, 2023@SmokeAwayyy @elonmusk yes, open source & open weights for at least the general purpose utility models 🫶Reply · May 12, 2024@LewisNWatson i have no idea tbh, but i think coomer use cases *are* the #1 reason ppl shift to open models, so as a competitive move it makes senseQuote tweet · Mar 25, 2024again, it's all about the data (and we need better open datasets to close the gap w the closed sota models)
