AI and Open Source

There is a trend in AI towards large language models developed by cloud providers like Microsoft and OpenAI. However, the gap between these models and equivalent open source models is shrinking, leading to a swarm of open source AI models. This swarm could lead to emergent behavior and innovative uses of AI in various domains.
