I also.
worry about these, you know, very monopolistic, like centralized futures.
And like one area in particular that I think might be concerning in the future is like if one AI company is able to use its AIs to automate its AI research process and then become much more capable than everyone else very quickly.
It seems like, you know, that wouldn't be so good for like a pluralistic, you know, startup ecosystem.
In the long run, what exactly is the incentive for a business to release open source models, especially if they're a foundation lab and most of their business is making the models, which are very expensive?
Do you think that open source models are currently a threat to the business model of large closed source foundation model developers?
Like I can imagine, yes, because if people can get similar capabilities for a much lower price point, they'd switch over.
But also like when you compare Kimmy to Fable or Sol, there's definitely areas where Fable and Sol are just way better and people will pay for them anyway.
When it comes to these very cheap models, it seems like I can imagine a future where if the really good models, like the flagship frontier models, get much more capable and can really do a lot of the tasks that an employee can do at a job, that enterprises would be gladly willing to spend a lot more on that rather than go to the much cheaper models in order to cut costs.

So, Sriram, we're so glad to have you on.
