By now, most of you have probably heard about the recently leaked document by a Google Researcher commenting on the state of the AI Space and the Large Language Models Arms Race.

Stay tuned, because you definitely don’t want to miss out on this (we’ll follow up on this with a piece on how businesses can use open-source to thrive tomorrow).
