<p>Progress in open-source (OS) generative AI (particularly language models, LMs) has exploded in recent months. As a consequence — and with the help of <a href="https://www.semianalysis.com/p/google-we-have-no-moat-and-neither" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">desperate internal confessions</a> — people believe it has become a threat to incumbent companies like Google and Microsoft, and leading labs like OpenAI and Anthropic.</p>

OS has a strong <a href="https://twitter.com/ClementDelangue/status/1663231207163805701" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">positive connotation</a>; it’s not that people dislike Big Tech but that we like when The People has the opportunity to outdo the powerful.</p>
