These venture funded startups keep releasing models for free without a business model in sight. I am all for open source but worry it is not sustainable long term.
- djbusby 2y agoIt's not. These VC firms currently just blasting money+AI at lots of things. Exploring to find what sticks. Expensive discovery.
- wmf 2y agoThe free models are for practice and advertising. Once they get good they start charging. We've already seen this with Mistral and Stability.
- qball 2y agoAt this point the only thing an AI startup has to do to get people to spend money on the model is to: -not censor it -not be doing prompt injection It's very easy, which is why no other firm is capable of it.
