    I‘m not sure what gets to shape the AI ecosystem in the long run and I doubt anyone does but open-weights probably isn‘t it right now considering everyone uses either Claude orChatGPT. I don‘t think open-weights matters all that much in the AI race right now given that the models lack behind. Seems like an artificial race to me anyway. I think its really about building more and more of these shitty data centers everywhere because they will find use cases for them after the AI fad is over.
