TOP AI NEWS AND WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR BUSINESS

So, touching on our main topic of today here, are we living an open-source renaissance?

A time when collaboration and transparency are chiseled into the very foundation of our technological advancements?

As we gather around the virtual fire, I want to share my thoughts on the fascinating world of open-source models and how they can impact our businesses.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that open source is the go-to when utilizing generative models, even among businesses and their proprietary offerings…

According to the Zeitgeist, most companies do not have the resources or mandate to create their own generative models, so they rely on third parties.

As of today, a staggering 41% of companies work with open-source models. And 72% of companies are looking to increase their investment in AI each year for the next three years.

– Cool story bro, now tell me why should I care about these numbers.

If you want to really be part of the AI dance, it's better to start considering what kind of tech stack you’ll be developing for your team and your clients.

Open-source models provide a strong set of advantages, starting with more control and cheaper development costs.

– Okay, keep going, I hear you…

Even more, at the speed at which open source is gaining traction, there's a good chance that you'll find the solution you need or even make a significant breakthrough by leveraging existing resources out there.

As Matt Welsh, CEO and co-founder of fixie.ai said for The Cognitive Revolution Podcast:

Companies looking to build their own generative models benefit from greater control but incur greater costs from data collection, compute, and hiring machine learning experts to train and deploy them.

They also require more in-house expertise to deploy and fine-tune. 🥵

If you’re reading Caveminds.com, you're probably always looking for ways to stand out in a crowded market.
