In reality, everyone is better off sharing their research, because that advances the field much faster than trying to scout individual talent and hope they can give you some sort of competitive advantage. And you can easily just restrict commercial deployment while maintaining a very permissive license.\n\nI know being in this sub it sounds like everyone on earth is running a fleet of local LLM rigs, but the truth is, we're the 1%. It's not much different than going to the homelab sub and seeing everyone there has a 42U rack. The vast majority of people lack the know-how and the interest in running even a 9B model locally, even when they have the hardware. \n\nOpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, etc can all release their models for download tomorrow and neither their revenue nor whatever perceived competitive advantage they have will change. Even whatever architectural advantages they have today, will have a 1 year shelf life at best. That's not much of a moat, and the Chinese AI \n\n[31 upvotes] heck yeah\n\n[28 upvotes] Nice. For me, since GLM 5.1 we're now basically at \"good enough\" open source models in terms of intelligence for coding assistance. If we can just continue compressing that same intelligence level down into smaller/faster/more efficient packages then I'll be very happy.",
