Osmantic founder @TheAhmadOsman explains why open-source AI could compound like Linux did, as thousands of developers keep making even decade-old hardware more capable:
“The more open source developers we have in this space, the more optimizations you’re gonna unlock, and the better everybody is gonna be. If we keep doing this from now throughout the next five years, everybody’s gonna be better off.”
“If some specific companies out there are successful in banning open source AI with the regulatory capture narrative, there is a risk of everybody falling behind, and taking away that freedom from everybody.”
“It’s not a now or never situation. It builds up and compounds over time. Linux took decades to get to where it is right now. Open source AI is gonna be the same.”
“I’m seeing somebody optimizing a GTX 1080, which is 12-13 years old hardware. There is still more juice to squeeze out of every piece of hardware.” @OsmanticAI
Ahmad (@TheAhmadOsman): LLM infra right now is like Linux in the 90s
We’re still early and there is a lot of work to do
