It's great how we went from "wait.. this model is too powerful to open source" to everyone trying to shove down their 1% improved model down the throats of developers
I feel quite the opposite. Improvements, even tiny ones are great. But what's more important is that more companies release under open license.
Training models isn't cheap. Individuals can't easily do this, unlike software development. So we need companies to do this for the foreseeable future.
People are building and releasing models. There's active research in the space. I think that's great! The attitude I've seen in open models is "use this if it works for you" vs any attempt to coerce usage of a particular model.
To me that's what closed source companies (MSFT, Google) are doing as they try to force AI assistants into every corner of their product. (If LinkedIn tries one more time to push their crappy AI upgrade, I'm going to scream...)
