The open space on small models is a whole other developing angle, but O was referring to the general commoditization of a lot of these models. With rare exception after launch it seems the lifespan of any of these models is rather limited. From a business standpoint that sort of scenario is generally very unattractive and thus was trying to understand if they have some other angle they’re trying to play here to make a viable business out of this. Or the business model can just be get acquired before that matters and let that be someone else’s problem to figure out.


The comoditization of models outside of LLM is delusional. There is no comparable open source image / video models to the private ones.
