Now that they're going closed source, I think they got to be a lot more.

I mean, their model has to get a lot better.

The open source strategy was really good for adoption and kind of developer goodwill, but it was not winning the race as far as the best company goes.

Now, there are other people working on open source, and I hope that open source models get, you know, continue to get pushed.

Not every task that you need an AI model to do needs like the absolute greatest, you know.

frontier model.

You could there's plenty of tasks where you're sorting folders or files or searching for things or, you know, rewording something and like you don't need anything crazy.

And so I think a lot of those open source models would be great would save compute and energy and all that.

And so I hope that this still gets pushed forward.

And I also hope that we continue to make really powerful, really good open source models.

But we'll see where this goes.

It feels like Meta right for now is kind of getting closed source.

And it's also kind of at a weird place in the industry, right?

So I think at the end of the day, their argument is going to be that they got to close sources because the models are getting so big.

It's too dangerous to have like an open source version.

People were already making that claim years ago.

I remember Elon Musk in like, what, 2014, 2024 or something was like, you know, we got to have like a six month break on releasing any new models because they're too good.

And it's like, wow, how times have changed.

Those models seem so archaic now.

Anyways, it's an interesting point and an interesting place.
