Y Combinator(@ycombinator):Open models are closing the intelligence gap, says @ollama's @jmorgan. That opens up a new opportunity for founders: coordinating fast, cheap models to solve more complex problems. “We’re maybe less than three months behind between the frontier closed models and the open models. But the next problem to solve is extreme efficiency.” “They’re good enough for 80% of the tasks, they’re really fast and they’re ultra cheap.” “That class of models, in my mind, will be the first ones that come down to this idea of the unlimited tokens.” “Being able to coordinate these flash models together to do different tasks can also yield great results that a bigger model can.”
