Thanks for writing this, it clarifies a lot about the current landscape. But what if the drive for such massive valuations eventually makes the 'open' part of open source AI just a stepping stone for proprietery systems?

That’s just how it’s always been when it comes to companies. The important thing is to ensure that we always take the open bits to build our own systems

Why inspectability converts is the part worth slowing down for. An enterprise picks the safe incumbent because nobody inside can vouch for the newcomer yet. Code their own engineers can read and run gives them that vouch without a contract, sales call or reference customer. Sakana sold the cousin of this: judgment made legible, minus anything installable.
