> Personally I don’t understand how anyone could think OpenAI, etc vs FOSS is going to be special or unique against what we know to be obvious. APIs... it's all about APIs and ease of use. Companies have data centers or could have data centers if they wanted, but a lot use AWS, MSFT, GCP, and friends.

There are a ton of valuable and profitable companies with easy to use API based services used by millions of happy customers built on open source. Let’s say I’m a law firm or a medical group. Do I need ChatGPT to write me a bedtime story or tell me about the Great Chicago Fire, or write code? No, I need it to help me write my briefs, summarize patient notes, whatever. The next crop of startups will be (and already are) LegalGPT and ScribeGPT (or whatever) with fine tuned highly specific, highly curated, regulatory compliant, quality controlled, decision controlled, PHI-scrubbed, tuned on your own data, etc, AI solutions largely based on open foundational models, open serving frameworks, data pipelines, etc. Available via end-user interface and/or API. Then watch LegalGPT be acquired by LegalZoom, LexisNexus, whoever. ScribeGPT by Epic, etc. or vice-versa. ChatGPT is jack of all trades, truly master of none. As I said it will always have its place but it will recede more and more. AI is trying to catch up to human intelligence. Do you go to a mechanic when you should be going to a dentist?
