I'm struck by all these independent announcements saying "look at our new model that we only spent $N Billion in acquisitions and hardware time to build and operate that's just like those other ones but this one is ours." Because if any of these companies would simply pool resources and work together, and if the government actively participated in providing funds, they'd be able to accelerate AI so much faster. It al…

Competition often foster innovation. Why are they innovating so fast and spending so much money? Because they don’t wanna get behind. If there was no competition at all then there would be much less reason to innovate and spend resources.

LLMs/Chat-based systems will reach a point where Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads, Instagram, etc. are all unnecessary. The idea of opening a browser or a specific app to do a thing will seem antiquated. You can do it all with your chat-based agent. Meta wants to be part of that.

Sure but they have the platforms, they don’t need their own frontier models for that

The platforms will be irrelevant at some point. "Posting to Facebook" won't be a thing.

The moat is in the compute and the energy access. And further down the line in chips, which is why Elon is building a fab now. There are plenty of capable models on HuggingFace, yet I have no way of running them.

Give it a few years, or month. Tiny models are getting outrageously good

I wonder if this is why the tech cartel is buying up all the hardware?

If the average user gets convinced they could run LLMs for cheap at home, you cannot trap users in your walled garden anymore.

The hero image on the linked page, which consists of a muted teal background with the words "Introducing Muse Spark", weighs in at 3,5MB. I don't even...

This really reinforces the idea that the AI race and the Railroad Mania of the 19th century are very similar. So many different companies are going to have similarly powerful ai that there will be no moat around it and it will be cheap. They will never earn their investment back.

I suspect this is the real reason behind Anthropic limiting subscriptions to their own products and keeping API prices several times higher than comparable models. Applications more sticky than API users and less technical users more sticky than programmers (ie Cowork more sticky than Code).

You can even automatically do that on your CDN/delivery/web server layer. Or as part of your web deployment pipeline.

Yes, but it might be a little too advance for Meta ;)

But they have personal superintelligence?

> which is why Elon is building a fab now At least he says he's doing that. It doesn't really make sense since you're not going to achieve an advanced node from a standing start in a practical time frame and cost. Sounds like more Musk flavored vapor.

They already announced a partnership with Intel.

Rumor on the ground is that they expected a much stronger model than this one.

Can you elaborate?

That's it. It's just a rumor. A model, which I don't even know of it's this one specifically, fell short of expectations. This rumor came up around mid March.
