I think you're overestimating what the open source community has done.
The core value of GenAI (the models) that is currently open sourced has ONLY been contributed by large companies.
What the open source *community* has contributed is frontends and implementations of research papers. It is hugely important of course, and not to be ignored, but GenAI simply doesn't exist at all without large companies.
- magic_hamster 2y agoNot exactly. The "web uis" are actually products built around these models. There are some truly outstanding examples like comfy, automatic1111 and ollama. But what's been even more impressive to me is how the open source community use these models to create new workflows like texturing in blender. There is just so much to discover yet.
- CuriouslyC 2y agoNot true, open source is also doing a lot of fine tunes/post training on Llama3, and there's OpenChat as well, so if Llama didn't exist we'd still have something to work with.
- iLoveOncall 2y agoBoth build on top of models made by large companies. Once again, LLMs don't exist without those. And it's obvious given the cost involved in training such models.
