This episode delves into the ongoing debate of the competitiveness between open-source and closed-source models and the reasons behind Meta's decision to publish Llama2 with a permissive open-source license

We cover:

  • How much bigger can closed-sourced models be, compared to open-source?
  • Are new competitor foundation models doomed, if Meta enters the game?
  • What does “second place” look like, in open source?
  • Can open-source datasets compete?
  • Will very large open-source models soon become illegal?
