IBM made $60 billion in revenue last year. Where do you think it all came from? The same companies/governments that buy their overpriced crap are going to buy these new LLMs as well.
Their customers aren’t going to build their own RAG and agent frameworks, vector DBs, data ingest pipelines, finetunes, high scale inference serving solutions, etc, etc.
Right, but they can just use Llama/Mistral for free, instead of their inferior models, which I'm sure take quite a bit of resources to train in the first place.
