Issue is this complete stops open research in AI. Last decade was really golden period of AI. Every major industrial lab collaborated like peer groups. Google Brain, Deepmind, FAIR, MSR every one played their role. We went from broken Alex net to trillion parameter transformer in a matter of 10 years.

Everything stops now. I don't think any thing of the scale of transformer or even resnet will ever be shared. Guys with suits ( or VC with hoodies ) have reached the party and researcher . I really really hope open source model wins. That is the only way to unlock the knowledge and make real progress. Even OpenAI admits the path to larger and larger model stops very soon. We need more innovation and that innovation needs to be shared

In my opinion, we are STILL in the AI winter and things were just barely beginning to thaw, back to deep freeze.

We’ll have some ebb and flow between industry and academia which will spread concepts just as it does in other industries. It’s slower, but it still gets the job done.
