And I think that the
labs are smart enough to recognize that this is going to be useful as they increase their, you know, monitoring efforts going forward.
Emmy.
A crucial Senate primary battle in Michigan that could determine control of Congress in November.
Yeah, I think the big story here is not necessarily Chinese models versus American models.
I think the big story here is open source versus closed source.
So obviously the story we've been told for the last several years is that closed source is going to continue to dominate the American frontier.
Closed source labs are going to continue to pull ahead and open source will never catch up to that.
I think what we're seeing with Kimi, with other Chinese models like GLM, GLM calls a very big wave.
It may not have done the rounds in the same way that Kimi did, but it was certainly a great model.
Even releases like Inkling from Thinking Machines, which is an American company,
What we're seeing is that basically the recipe to build these things, there's no secret source.
The big labs, they don't have anything that the open source labs don't have.
And open source is going to continue to improve the capabilities and intelligence of the models they release as we scale up the size of these models and the amount of data and compute that goes into them.
And so, yes, from one kind of aspect, it's concerning that this is like a Chinese model that is leading the charge with this sort of like open source versus closed source debate.
But I think there's really promising signs for the open source ecosystem in general.
And I think a lot of people are starting to realize that that's potentially a better world to end up in where compared to where you have maybe a duopoly with open and anthropic having these models that pull away from everyone else and they dictate all the terms of access and control that intelligence.
Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, their flagship models are what we refer to as closed source in the sense that I can ask it a question, that question gets sent off over the internet, goes to their GPUs, which run the model, they do the number crunching, and then they send the answer back to me.
I never get to touch the model weights, which you can think of as this big collection of numbers that do a bunch of multipliers to give me my answer.
Whereas with open source, I can actually download those numbers.
