ELON: CHINA HAS THE BEST OPEN SOURCE AI MODELS RIGHT NOW “The best open source models are generally from China, which is bizarre. I think the second best one, or maybe it’s better than second best, is Grok 2.5. The open source model is actually very good, and we... show more

“We have a crisis of open source models in the Western world. Outside of China, there are no good open source models. We don't even have any in the US now. The talent, the capital and the focus to be best-in-class at pre-training, mid-training, post-training is an extremely scarce skillset. The answer for a lot of countries may just be to take an open weights model from China, post-train or fine-tune their own version, and have that be what they start from." Everett Randle Why does the West have such poor open source models and is it a national security threat to rely on open-source Chinese models Demis Hassabis Yann LeCun Aidan Gomez Lilian Weng Jan Leike

OPEN SOURCE AI IS WINNING — CLOSED MODELS CAN’T COMPETE Kai-Fu Lee — former Google China president and now head of AI venture firm Sinovation Ventures — says the future of AI belongs to open source, not closed systems like OpenAI or Anthropic. LEE: “It’s become clear that open source will be the winner. The issue really isn't whose model is 1% better is OpenAI's model even sustainable? OpenAI’s costs of $7M DeepSeek probably operated with 2% the operating expense. Here you have a competitor coming in with an open source model that's for free. Sam Altman is probably not sleeping well.” Source: Ai

SITUATION EXPLAINED: What happens to open source when the US restricts access to frontier AI models? We asked Adrian Dittmann: "China is releasing these models [open source] to gain international dominance, people will work on these things and say, 'Hey, maybe I can contribute to this if it's open source.' This is the thing that actually gets them talent." "If you're not allowed into the next GPT release or you're not allowed to use Fable, then what are you gonna do? You're stuck with the existing stuff, or you will have to use an open source model that might have subtly better capabilities." "The United States will catch up to open source in some form as well. They seem to just be maximizing product creation." "The problem with open source models is you have to be kind of a nerd in order to use them properly. Consumer facing, the effects will be minimal because the average person doesn't care about open source models. They only care whether or not they can do a quick search with Gemini or ChatGPT."

FROM THE LIVE SHOW: Matt Hicks (Matt Hicks), President & CEO of Red Hat, on open source and collaboration. "I love the model that open source provides because it provides this incredible collaboration." "This is why we're passionate about smaller models, because they allow that collaborative, open source ethos to thrive a little bit better than the frontier models."

.Bill Gurley “I don’t think politicians understand how powerful open source is as a competitive weapon. If you have ten companies all doing open source, the minute an idea is shared, it's available to the other ten and they absorb it immediately. I think the odds that the U.S., with two proprietary models, can stay ahead of China, with ten open source ones, is very low.”

The US government is becoming more involved in controlling AI models, while open-source Chinese models are improving at a rapid pace. Jordi Visser explains why this should push more people to open-source AI in the coming months.

5/ Open source isn’t enough. Application is everything. China isn’t waiting for open-source models to catch up. They're customizing them and making them useful now in real-world settings. From factory lines to traffic systems, AI is already embedded.

Uber had a $500M Anthropic bill in a single month. Mine was over $1M. So I rented GPUs and now use open-source models. 100x cheaper. The future of AI is Open-source.

i compared the top open-source OCR solutions and found which one works the best. featuring: > DeepSeek OCR > Datalab Chandra > Qwen3-VL > Dots OCR > Granite Docling also created an app that lets you run all of these OCR models in one place. 100% open-source.

Dario Amodei is right. Most Chinese open source models are benchmark optimized illusions. They ace public tests and fall apart the moment you leave the playground. Held back evals expose the truth fast. Open source is still the future of AI. No question.

I have deep respect for Dario Amodei & Anthropic and I also get why every major AI lab CEO must downplay the open source threat. But his argument in Big Technology podcast to Alex Kantrowitz against open source models feels surprisingly weak - 'someone still has to run inference' completely misses the core economics. Makes me wonder: is there actually no good counter-argument to open source commoditization risk?

Sam Altman confirms: OpenAI is planning to release a very powerful open-source model. It could be "near the frontier" and better than any current open-source model out there.
