- ianm218 6d agoNo one in the US is going to fund pretty good open source with VC money. US has OpenAI/ Anthropic/ Google/ meta/ SpaceX atleast trying to make frontier foundation models 2 are using VC money + cash flow, last 3 are mainly cash flow + equity and debt. China has state banks and similar willing to fund lower margin open source labs.
- Roark66 5d agoI'd be pretty surprised if someone told me few years ago communist China, state banks would become the main founders of open source compute and our last hope against monopolists like Musk, the whole bunch at OpenAI and so on. To be fair Zuck is releasing fairly capable open source models, but Chinese labs are way ahead.
