Topic: Are we seeing the end of OSS models?
- Why now? The trend towards fewer and fewer Apache models on the high end.
- Past: The OSS “rug pull” joke comes to mind: HashiCorp, MongoDB, Redis, Elastic
- Present:
- Governments might jump in: The US Government with Mythos and GPT. Rumors are that China might start to restrict their high-end. Companies:
- Kimi K3 as an example, 100M users or 20M in revenue. Others that used to be Apache are now closed
- Future: Maybe something like a Modified MIT license will likely be the future, as the models now cost millions to produce and the shelf life is measured in weeks to months
