Good look at the impact of open-source and small models on AI:
"What was once the reserve of the resource-rich has become a playground for anyone with curiosity, coding skills, and a good laptop."
This isn’t the first time companies have ignored the power of the open-source community. https://slate.com/technology/2023/05/ai-regulation-open-source-meta.html?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=traffic&utm_source=article&utm_content=twitter_share
