The Enterprise AI Show

SUMMARY: This episode is the second part and explores the flip side of OSS models. Last episode, we discussed the potential decline; this episode, we’ll talk about the potential positive future of OSS models. Aaron and Brandon explore the future of open source AI models, the role of industry consortia, and how major tech companies like NVIDIA, Apple, and Google are shaping the AI landscape. They discuss the potential for open models to become industry standards and the strategic motivations behind these moves.

 Topic: Are we seeing the end of OSS models?
Why now? NVIDIA Open Secure AI Alliance (all except Anthropic joined) & Linux Foundation is managing proposals
Past: OSS runs the world…  Up until now, there hasn’t been an overarching “AI Model” project managed by the CNCF or Linux Foundation that has gained any traction
Present: As model sizes increase, who pays for training? I think the DB market is the closest parallel here, and it's also where the most OSS rug pulls have happened in the past. Is this history repeating itself, but also a lesson learned because so many DB companies got burned?

Future: Someone will have to donate a trillion+ parameter model to a foundation. My bet is NVIDIA will eventually drive this through Nemotron; it makes the most sense, and they have the most to lose if OpenAI and Anthropic take over and also eventually use their own chips.

 Topic: Are we seeing the end of OSS models?
Why now? The trend towards fewer and fewer Apache models on the high end.
Past: The OSS “rug pull” joke comes to mind: HashiCorp, MongoDB, Redis, Elastic  
Present: Governments might jump in: The US Government with Mythos and GPT. Rumors are that China might start to restrict their high-end. Companies:
Kimi K3 as an example, 100M users or 20M in revenue. Others that used to be Apache are now closed

Future: Maybe something like a Modified MIT license will likely be the future, as the models now cost millions to produce and the shelf life is measured in weeks to months

SUMMARY: In this episode, Aaron and Brandon tackle the provocative critiques of AI by Ed Zitron, a vocal opponent in the tech industry. They delve into the bear case against AI, exploring both the merits and flaws of Zitron's views.

 Topic: The Zitron Bear Case — What's Right, What's Wrong?
Why now? Ed Zitron went on CNBC's Squawk on the Street to lay out his bear case against OpenAI and Anthropic, covering questionable finances, AI's lack of ROI, and framing the whole thing as a symptom of the tech industry running out of hypergrowth ideas. CNBCX
Past: Every hype cycle gets its designated skeptic — dot-com had its shorts, cloud had its "just a fad" crowd, crypto had its own chorus. Zitron's been running this playbook since the early ZIRP-era "subprime AI crisis" pieces.
Present: Zitron's specific claims — OpenAI's burn rate math, the "nobody's making money on inference" argument, the case that Anthropic and OpenAI shouldn't be allowed to IPO with the numbers they'd have to report — stack up against actual usage/revenue data Brian and Aaron are seeing in the market. YouTube
Future: If Zitron's right about the economics, what's the unwind look like? If he's wrong, what is he missing about where value actually accrues (infra, tooling, harnesses vs. raw model access)?

SUMMARY: We continue our Models and Money series. In this episode, Brian and Aaron explore the current state and future of AI models, focusing on model size, model harnessing, and intelligent model routing. They discuss whether bigger models are always better, the economics of AI, and how enterprise applications can benefit from tailored AI solutions.

Topic: When will the models/harnesses be good enough?
Why now? Benchmark Maxxing - cost to build/host/maintain 1+ trillion parameter model
Past: The “wow” moments in versions really stopped around GPT4… (maybe?)
Present: Race to the top/bottom, millions spent to gain SOTA for a few days
Future: Will the pendulum swing back? Will bigger/faster always rule?
