Open source adoption from startups is rapidly increasing. “Back in 2024, we would see startups typically purchase open source vendors at about 12 months from their first big [AI] lab bill.” “What we're now seeing is that timeline is accelerating to as little as 5 months.” — Brex President,... show more

Zuck: "For anyone who shows up now and is doing open source now that we have done it, there's a question. They already have their revealed preference for what they would build if open source didn't exist - it wasn't open source. We need to be careful about relying on their continued behavior for the future of the technology that we're gonna build at this company."

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."

We are on a mission to document the complete history of every major open source language ever created. With 250K subscribers and over 15M views, we're building on our foundation as creators of the acclaimed Open Source Origin Story documentary format. Coming in 2025: Python Software Foundation, Vite ⚡ documentaries and much more. Our independence is core to our mission. We believe the human stories behind open source deserve authentic, in-depth storytelling. Our new model is powered directly by: - Community support from viewers - Sponsorships from organizations that champion open source This transition represents our commitment to independent, meaningful tech storytelling that honours the collaborative spirit of open source itself.

Jcal says Sam Altman provoked Jensen into directly competing with OpenAI "I think Jensen is going all in on open source based on these two acquisitions, Hugging Face and Poolside. I think Sam Altman poked the tiger." "If you look at what he did, he had done that huge $100 billion deal with $NVDA back in 2025. Then he announced the $AMD deal. Jensen was clearly not pleased about that." "Right after, Sam said he's going to make his own inference, jalapeño, and that he was going to do the deal with $AMD, then Jensen came out was like, 'Well, by the way, we don't actually have to do these investments in OpenAI.'" "I think he's speed-running open source, and you're going to be able to buy your entire stack from $NVDA next year. He is going to own open source. That is a really interesting moment in time because we were sitting here 6, 12 months ago saying open source would never catch up." "Jensen is doing an open source self-driving project. Now he owns Hugging Face, the leading open source indexer where everybody goes to try the new models.”

Captain James Fanell: If we can't open the Strait of Hormuz after 5 months then I would suggest that the Joint Force is failing in its mission which is to keep freedom of navigation open. So how about we task the Joint Force at NATO and the Pentagon to open waterways.

Matt Bornstein says open source is how AI companies stop being wrappers: "A year ago, a bunch of smaller companies or new application companies were trying to figure out, 'How do I really build an AI without just being a wrapper on top of OpenAI?' The answer to that question turned out to be open source." "This is what Cursor did. This is what Decagon and Harvey are in the process of doing now. A bunch of really strong application-level startups made the determination: we can't build just on closed source." "We need to do our own mid-training, our own post-training, our own inference and deployment tricks. All of that means it must be built on top of open source. The closed-source vendors won't give you the access to do this." "Open source became really central in a way that's not always visible because it's deeply embedded in some of these products. Some of the most innovative products and applications now really depend on this very deeply." Matt Bornstein

ElevenLabs just lost the crown - to open source. Chatterbox by Resemble AI (I remember writing about this team back in 2022 as a pioneer of AI audio) just released as an open-source alternative for audio generation and voice cloning. - Zero-shot voice cloning from just 5 seconds of audio - Unique emotion intensity control—from subtle to dramatically expressive - Real-time voice synthesis faster than real-time inference - Built-in watermarking for secure, trusted audio - Consistently preferred over ElevenLabs in blind evaluations Fully open-source. No hidden restrictions. This is the way. Check out the demo:

The biggest trend Diana is seeing in this year's YC Demo Day batch is startups reaching seven figures in revenue just three months after launch. "It's become more common for companies to go from zero to seven figures in revenue within just three months." "The best companies back then would grow 10% week over week, which is what Airbnb did. That would get them to a couple hundred thousand in ARR, which is a very good accomplishment back then." "But now companies get to seven figures because they're able to build a more mature product a lot quicker with agentic coding."

Mike Novogratz: The US is only 6 to 12 months ahead of China in AI - and the pressure NOT to slow down is enormous. A co-founder of one of the big LLMs told Novogratz just 2 days ago: "We're now really thinking early '28, where we get recursive AI models that can create their own AI models." "That was such a sci-fi idea 5 years ago, and now we're 18 months from it." FT Anthony Scaramucci Mike Novogratz All Things Markets SkyBridge.

Mitt Romney always tells it like it is: "With regard to spending, When President Trump was president, you didn’t hear anything from Republicans about how we're spending too much...Quiet as little lambs. Now that Biden is president, oh, we're going to shut down government if we don't rein in spending... A little less hypocrisy would be a good thing.”

Something that stunned me about is they've moved away from the FDE playbook that's become the default for fast growing AI startups. Instead they've built AI to covert plain English from the customer into Python code to make the product work for their use cases i.e. an AI FDE. It's a huge technical feat and is how they can onboard enterprises in weeks vs months.

David Sacks says the data kills the open-source-is-winning narrative, closed models just went from 81% to 89% of enterprise spend. "This is why the share of wallet of closed models actually increased. I think that open source went from 19% last year to 11% this year. So open source as a share of enterprise spending is actually decreasing... Anyone who's saying these closed models are somehow losing, you're just not seeing it in the data." "Nikesh Arora said enterprises would like what he called model fungibility. They would love to commoditize these models and just hot swap them, headless. But then what do you do about memory, context, history? No one's really figured out a way to abstract that stuff away from the model yet."

“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
