Forget about OpenAI and Google
Open-Sourced AI Projects Are Catching Up, and Fast!
As someone who is deeply interested in the AI landscape, I recently stumbled upon an interesting leaked internal Google document that makes some bold claims about the future of artificial intelligence. In this article, I want to share my thoughts on the points raised and explain why I believe open source AI is the real game-changer to which we should all be paying attention.
The Rise of Open Source AI: Catching Up to Giants

For instance, people can now run sophisticated language models using just a phone, fine-tune personalized AI on a laptop, and create multimodal models in a very short amount of time.
These advancements are driven by a large pool of open-source communities that build on top of each other’s work. They iterate rapidly and bring cutting-edge AI to the masses at very low costs. The document argues that Google and OpenAI should…
