Literally right this minute, my mini data center is running over 20,000 tokens / second (aggregate), processing science papers, articles, transcripts, PDF files, scans and more for use in my curated document index that powers (a free AI research engine that offers accurate citations from real research documents).
NONE of this would be possible without open source AI. In fact, 100% of these tokens right now are being processed by Qwen3.8-27B including VL (vision language) processing of page scans.
I spent over $2 million putting all this together over the last 2.5 years, but today this entire effort could be done at 1/10th that cost thanks to open source AI.
My engine is free for you to use, even though it costs my company money to host it, because I believe in paying it forward. I use open source software, and I build free-to-use platforms that benefit humanity.
Lets all do MORE of this!
