This has felt a lot like the early days of the streaming wars to me, where business model took a back seat to user acquisition.
I've been deeply curious about about costs vs revenue with the "AI everywhere" push.
Local models seem like the way?
- jsheard 3y agoLocal models from where though? As you say the industry is currently in a money-burning phase where user acquisition and growing mindshare takes priority over short term profits, and that's where most of the decent quality local models are coming from, companies like Stability and Mistral giving away expensive models for free. That's obviously not a sustainable long term plan for local AI, we're already seeing Mistral pivot away from releasing their models. Where is the money to train open/local models going to come from once this initial hype cycle is over?
