As models grow complex, Compute is what's holding back AI from mass production and consumption [0]. And so whoever figures out a way to give away Compute for inference and training is likely going to be able to provide the resulting service at much competitive rates to keep the flywheel going?
Sort of similar to Google and Chrome/Search/YouTube/Android, where even if untold billions are spent to build and run the software (Compute), to the end-user (AI researchers) it costs virtually nothing, while Ads continue to bring in revenue (APIs / services).
I see StabilityAI as Yang to OpenAI's Ying. And I believe, that's where the upstart's evaluation stems from.
