These venture funded startups keep releasing models for free without a business model in sight. I am all for open source but worry it is not sustainable long term.


At this point the only thing an AI startup has to do to get people to spend money on the model is to:

-not censor it

-not be doing prompt injection

It's very easy, which is why no other firm is capable of it.


The free models are for practice and advertising. Once they get good they start charging. We've already seen this with Mistral and Stability.


It's not. These VC firms currently just blasting money+AI at lots of things. Exploring to find what sticks. Expensive discovery.
