Earlier quoted context omitted.
The models might be good but the product design, user story, and marketing is so terrible that it’s difficult to see it as more than an also-ran
Even that is kind tbh. The company is so poorly run and the leader so controversial that it makes it irresponsible to build anything serious that relies on their products. Other than the rocket part of the business, everything else under the SpaceX umbrella is a nonstarter.

#42This fits with my impression of the 'personality' of various models: Meta: Perceptive (strong vision) Gemini: Fastest Claude: Smartest OpenAI: Prettiest
Why do you think OpenAI is the prettiest? Claude often makes better looking interfaces and designs. And I think OpenAI has solved more open math/ stats/ CS problems.
Still surprises me that OpenAI seems to lead in this one weird niche, I wonder what causes GPT to be able to routinely pull this off, there was one instance where some random 18 year old broke some mathematical question without knowing more than high school math if I remember correctly, all because of GPT.

The DINOv3 License (https://github.com/facebookresearch/dinov3/blob/main/LICENSE...) is similar but with the model names swapped.
It's always nice when a model's weights are released, but Meta's models are not open source because their weights always come with weird restrictions.

#45> Meta's open-source approach makes this possible I'm sorry, was this article drafted in 2024 and never updated?
But what's the point of correcting you? People will continue to propagate their own lies.

#47I'm no fan of Facebook or its social effects but I can't deny the wonderful downstream effect of their open source. Popular microscopy models like Cellpose[0] have leaned heavily on the cornucopia of open and SOTA power. I have no doubt thousands of biologists have benefitted from the capabilities these models bring. I think it was unthinkable just 5 years ago that a single biologist with just a laptop could do mass-…

We've seen b before. React was controversially released with a similar clause and ultimately Facebook dropped it and used a standard open source license. Their lawyers really love this idea for some reason.
It's almost as if having a CEO of a company placed beyond the control of the corporate board is a bad thing.
