Do you think there will be a point where someone owns a powerful enough AI model (compared to competition or perhaps competing models of sufficient capability) that it becomes much more valuable to use it in house than to make it available to other people/enterprises?
Always enjoy this topic. Your considerations are over my head of course.
Great question. I have no real basis to answer from but I'll just give you my gut opinion, and that the answer is probably "no"... A lot of the biggest players seem to be sharing openly. Remember that Google actually wrote (and shared) the Transformer whitepaper that kicked off this LLM revolution. I am listening to someone from Meta AI right now and their whole message is that we need to share and collaborate openly. Most of what I read / listen to says that the models will be commoditized and what will really matter is the data you have. So that said, if you have a unique corpus of data that nobody else can get you might have a product on your hands that you can sell. I think the tech will commoditize though.
Amazing how fast the space is moving. I go back a quote I saw from DeepMind on the power of exponential grow.
Shane Legg of Google’s DeepMind notes, training an AI algorithm that would take one day on a Google TPU would have taken a quarter of a million years using a cutting-edge 1990s microprocessor.

Absolutely, you blink and things change.

It is definitely amazing to see how fast things are progressing and how much renewed energy there is in tech. It’s a fun time to be doing what we do!
