I really hope that in 6 months, when there is (yes) another cyclical swing towards closed source, we all remember the energy and values that are currently in the discourse. It’s very easy to rally around open source when the line between the two frontiers is this blurry. But the reason we’ve rallied behind this thesis for so long is that in order to build this safe and democratised future of intelligence, it should be shaped by many, red-teamed/interpreted by many, and served by many. Yes, I really do believe that the safest (and most fruitful) world with diffused AI is the one contributed to by more of the brilliant people in our field than the ones just behind closed doors. And, as so many have said (including
@OpenAI), we want a world of open and closed source models that push humanity forward. Proud to be working directly with so many of the teams that are part of this.
