And even if they publish the model it’s almost always just open weights

According to artificialanalysis.ai’s latest benchmarks, it scores better than Opus 4.8 set to max, despite costing half as much per task.

It also beats the top models of some of the largest US tech companies such as xAi, Meta, Google, and Nvidia.

I wonder what the US tech investors will think of this, and what this will mean for the financial AI bubble.

You can use it through openrouter

AFAIK, their open models are distributed as weights, not executables and are therefore not able to start network connections / run code. There is of course tool-calling functionality but that just works by having the model output a special pattern and having something external run predetermined commands based on that.

I agree. The worst part about GitHub training LLM’s on my FOSS code without permission for me is that they then keep the models to themselves. Like if you’re going to use all my code without permission, at least allow me to run the model locally.

My personal opinion is that all models trained on copyleft code should be open-weights, most FOSS licenses didn’t account for this specific possibility, but this is the only way to follow them in spirit.

It’s being downvoted with relatively little discourse because it’s an insult with no relevance to the topic, in addition to supporting a comment from someone who is either trolling or has no idea what they’re talking about

I think the latter

Exactly, my last laptop was around €750 but I remember looking for a similar (in terms of performance) Framework laptop and it was around €1200 if I remember correctly, not an insignificant difference for a student.

I had a conversation with a colleague of mine about this. He believed that Musk’s decision to merge xAI and SpaceX was truly because of the potential of datacenters in space. I was unable to convince him that the logistics of this would be a nightmare and that this was just a way to make the Twitter buyout SpaceX’s problem.
