I really like this definition of "AGI": When everyone (yes everyone) benefits from very powerful AI models released for free and it is not gate-kept by one company and it costs $0 to use commercially or for research and you can do whatever you want with it.

Unlike the other counterpart which believes that "AGI" means: "raising billions of dollars to achieve $100BN of profits to their investors". (Which is complete nonsense).

While not totally "open source" by the strictest definition, it is at least better than having no model released with no mention of the architecture on the system card or paper and just vague comments about the 'performance'.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is closer towards being an better "Open AI". Unlike the other alleged $157BN "non-profit" scam.

I think you know which one really is beneficial to humanity and is the real "Open AI".

You’re assuming they won’t follow in OpenAI’s footsteps. OpenAI published a lot for a while and truly changed the world, far more than deepseek has. Only time will tell.

But I think it’d be a mistake to think that this is necessarily beneficial for humanity just because the weights are open. It’s maybe great to commoditize models, but their displacement in jobs, original thought and work, facilitation of disinformation and population psychological warfare doesn’t change… if anything it’s accelerated and harder to temper the bad elements.

Of course. Except we know what happens when one tries to close them up again - someone else will release another more powerful AI model for free.

So it doesn't matter when there are multiple players competing to destroy each others in this race to zero.

It is unrealistic to close it up and hope that no-one catches up and releases a better AI model for free since the cat's already out of the bag and the progress of these AI models cannot be delayed, stopped or gate-kept for long.

By that time, someone will release a more powerful AI model for free.
