The best way to understand the open-source vs. frontier AI debate:
@EverettRandle says ‘Your mom.’
Ev explains his "AI Mom Test"
"What is the amount of queries or things that she needs out of AI that can't be done by a really, really cost-effective open-source model?"
"Now, it's 100%."
"There's nothing my mom actually asks of her AI products that needs to be done by the frontier or even a near frontier model."
"What we're seeing in the market right now is that people are willing to pay a huge premium to access frontier intelligence."
"But there's a growing portion of tasks in the economy and within enterprises where you just don't need a frontier model, and oftentimes you don't even need anything close to a frontier model."
