LLM pricing is now Business Gacha - the whales will open more loot boxes and the normals will serve as fodder and feeder for them.

> market gets regulated

This MUST happen, but not in the way or for the reasons that any one thinks. There is a question of liability when one of these models causes massive damage to a 3rd party.

If I am running an open source model on a "rented" platform and it goes off the rails who is to blame when it "breaks containment" and does something bad?

The liability people (read lawyers) are gonna figure this out a lot faster than any one who says the word "safety" a lot.

The person who approves or uses the LLM output will be responsible of course. You can't just say "the computer did it" and expect to walk away. In the few cases I've seen, that seems to be how it's been going.

Even if it wasn't, the big players would lobby hard to make sure it isn't them.
