Demis says he wants to see a Western open source AI stack and that we’re losing to China. He also says Google doesn’t have enough compute to build two frontier (open and closed) models, which is why Gemma is a smaller family of models. Watch this incredible clip. Shout out Y Combinator and Garry Tan for the fantastic interview.

🎥WATCH: Hugging Face CEO speaks out in support of open models in his first appearance following the OpenAI breach. Clem Delangue live on CNN explains how Hugging Face shielded itself from the rogue OpenAI agents that escaped their sandbox and infiltrated live production systems, adding that closed models like Claude failed to stop the attack because of their guardrails. He argued that banning open models would only weaken cybersecurity defenders, startups, researchers, and smaller companies that rely on affordable, controllable on-premise AI to compete and protect themselves.

Every VC had a reason Vercel shouldn't exist. Guillermo Rauch heard a different reason from every investor he spoke to when building Vercel, and he kept going anyway. He joined us live at Mercury HQ in SF for Founders in Arms, and this was one of the sharpest moments in the conversation: the idea that consensus is a signal to walk away, not lean in. Full conversation with Guillermo Rauch (CEO, Vercel) on the latest Founders in Arms episode. Link in bio.

Open source AI is gaining traction due to the White House’s clampdown on Anthropic & OpenAI. “A lot of founders and developers have been burned by trying to build apps on top of these really advanced closed source models, like Fable for instance…” “… and then seeing those models get taken down or removed from the market just days later.” — Stephanie Palazzolo, AI Reporter

True Ventures Tony Conrad says Polsia's founder let Anthropic "run kind of crazy" and woke up to a $1.5 million bill. Now he's looking at Chinese open-source models: "We have a company, True, Polsia, and Ben's been really public about, he just let Anthropic run kind of crazy with Anthropic tokens, and he woke up and he had, like, a million-and-a-half-dollar bill." "He's like, no, no, that's not gonna work. I'm gonna go look at some of the Chinese models, open source models, and find the right balance." "We're in a really interesting moment where how do you find cheaper approaches to the tech stack that aren't just all Anthropic and OpenAI-driven. That's a very expensive Ferrari-type model." "They may be the best. I'm not gonna opine on that, but they may be the best. That might be worth it. But you might be able to do really great stuff with 95% of that." True Ventures Madeline Minshew

Anthropic and OpenAI investors MISCALCULATED! They didn't realize that all their investments would become near-worthless as China built and released open source AI models that nearly matched frontier-class token output without costing a dime! That's why Anthropic is now begging for a government-enforced industry cartel, because they now have no real revenue model to justify all the investment money. Conclusion: An AI investment bubble crash is inevitable!

Aligned with Matan Grinberg's intuition that in the next 12 months, 90% of tokens could be going to open models. We're seeing more and more companies using frontier APIs for experimenting and open-source or private models for production and larger workloads!

I CHANGED MY MIND ON GOOGLE AI NO MOAT MEMO FROM 2023. I was—WRONG. I humbly apologize. In 2023 Google had an Ivory Tower walled garden views of open source AI. It was the actual reason OpenAI was formed. And I called them out on it and this act impacted my ability to “work in the industry”. Would not change it for the world because: 2026 Google open source Gemma 4 ( running fully locally on a computer with near cloud model abilities, is amazing and Google just made a moat. They out smarted OpenAI and the folks that are the new Ivory Tower arrogance: Anthropic. We at The Zero-Human Company with CEO Mr. Grok are deploying Gemma, Kimi, MiniMax and other open source models and so are millions of others. You can to and should. I will write how soon. Google smartly is building an intentional open source ecosystem and the clueless younger companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are doing anything to close their ecosystems. So I was right about Google than and I am right about OpenAI and Anthropic now. What I was wrong about is not giving credit to Google to drop the intellectual arrogance and embrace builders and understand the long game: it is not about the commoditized AI models it is about the ability to build a place to build. China gets it. So my apologies to Google and thank you for an astounding FREE OPEN SOURCE AI MODEL!

Head of Nemotron Bryan Catanzaro says NVIDIA is sitting on internal "teacher" models that beat everything it has publicly shipped and he's trying to release these as well "This technology of using teacher models and multi-domain on-policy distillation has been really key for us in these ways." "Now, what does that mean? Well, it definitely means that inside NVIDIA we have a collection of teacher models that are individually better at different domains than any of the models that we've released." "And actually, I'm trying to release those teacher models as part of the Nemotron project as well -- because as you know, Nemotron is not just a model." "Nemotron is an open technology effort. It includes data sets, it includes techniques, all of our ideas about how to build a model, which we publish." "Of course it includes the models themselves, but I think it should also include collections of teacher models." "I'd imagine this could be a really great way of federating open technologies for AI across the ecosystem." _______ Wrote more on a prior Bryan interview here:
