What do we do?

Do we just make the change and go through the pain?

Do we wait on the assumption that these other models will catch up?

To make it easier to switch between them.

This weekend, a different company with a huge model came to us and gave us the preview of their next-gen model.

And it's incredible.

But then when I sit on Monday morning with my team and I'm like, okay, what do we do?

We don't know what to do.

Do we cut it?

Do we move over and say, great, we'll refactor all these workloads to run on this new model?

It's a really hard problem, and it's getting worse the more complicated tasks that we undertake.

What is it called?

Efficient Language Models from Apple.

Keep an eye on that one.

Can I tell you what's going to make this open source, closed source battle even worse?

Because effectively what this is is the US versus China.

The US is closed and China is open, at least at the scaled models that work.

No, no, no, you're right.

I'm just saying today, if you look at the conditions on the field, the closed source, highly performant models are American.

The open source, highly performant models are Chinese.
