What is it?
Hearing crazy things, I really haven't dug into AI much, but this is making me want to. Really need to figure out how to load it up locally
Open Source AI model out of China that supposedly cost $5m and is comparable to GPT-4.
The whole thing cost less than 1 VP annual salary at Meta.
Ah, now I know what you’re referencing. Good news for all. I think the trend will be towards open source and cheaper. Probably not the last “best”
Yes, I’ve always thought open source would easily win the AI space.
I think 10 years from now we will laugh that there were once “AI companies”.
Just checking it’s actually on par with GPT-o1, it’s open source is currently SOTA.
It’s crazy that Open Source is now SOTA and also crazy that this model was supposedly developed for just $5m when big tech has already spent 50,000x that amount for the same result. 

I really enjoy using it lately and the context it provides for its answers. I do however wonder at which stage the “Thinking” content will become annoying.
I was just messing around with it using the lower parameters versions of the model using ollama (hardware available limitations). Very interesting to watch it *think*. I even jumped on their site and ran a prompt to write a script. The website came to a workable solution, the low parameter ollama test did not. Did the same thing with grok, grok came up with the best usable and simple version of the script. Take conclusions of that what you will.
