Will OSS Models Take Over?
Notes de l’épisode
SUMMARY: This episode is the second part and explores the flip side of OSS models. Last episode, we discussed the potential decline; this episode, we’ll talk about the potential positive future of OSS models. Aaron and Brandon explore the future of open source AI models, the role of industry consortia, and how major tech companies like NVIDIA, Apple, and Google are shaping the AI landscape. They discuss the potential for open models to become industry standards and the strategic motivations behind these moves.

Topic: Are we seeing the end of OSS models?
- Why now? NVIDIA Open Secure AI Alliance (all except Anthropic joined) & Linux Foundation is managing proposals
- Past: OSS runs the world… Up until now, there hasn’t been an overarching “AI Model” project managed by the CNCF or Linux Foundation that has gained any traction
- Present:
- As model sizes increase, who pays for training? I think the DB market is the closest parallel here, and it's also where the most OSS rug pulls have happened in the past. Is this history repeating itself, but also a lesson learned because so many DB companies got burned?
- Future: Someone will have to donate a trillion+ parameter model to a foundation. My bet is NVIDIA will eventually drive this through Nemotron; it makes the most sense, and they have the most to lose if OpenAI and Anthropic take over and also eventually use their own chips.
