It will be interesting to see how AI opportunities evolve and if open source models will play the same role as the public infrastructure of the dotcom boom did.
Or if closed models will dominate. For example, by the largest companies leveraging their existing distribution channels and/or acquiring promising startups.
- kuon 2y agoI have a few of my customers using AI and they are asking me to build self owned AI server running open source models. With about $20k you can have your own little AI beast and do a lot with it. They do this because proprietary AI models are not flexible enough and are lacking a lot of API. For example, one app I wrote was to analyze scans of old maps and use generative AI to extrapolate and create animations. I don't know where the market will go. But my feeling is that large proprietary models are very good at a very limited type of work and that open source will provide diversity.
