Good, it’s going to be important for this tech to be open. Stability has been hurting for support in comparison to OpenAI, Meta, and Google. Hopefully this can really help them moving forwards.
Does Stability AI open source their models?

Looks like they do have an open LLM model:

What is StableLM?
StableLM is a new open-source language model released by Stability AI. The Alpha version of the model is available in 3 billion and 7 billion parameters, with 15 billion to 65 billion parameter models to follow.
Investing in one company is not a bet against another company.
Especially when stability is doing something completely different from openai
Honest question. How are they completely different?
OpenAI is known for ChatGPT, which is a text generator that works for things like writing a haiku. Though OpenAI also has a image generating AI (DALLE), it doesn’t seem nearly as popular as its competitors Midjourney and SDXL. People just assume ChatGPT is OpenAI’s main product, but they are actually competing on everything.
Didn’t OpenAI start getting massive investments from Microsoft and then became ClosedAI?
Edit: Not that I necessarily think this will happen here. If anything, Stable Diffusion might run much better on ARC cards (or whatever their Neural Processing Unit becomes) and give a viable alternative to Nvidia
In the AI race, so far I’m hoping, assuming what they say about them is true, that Anthropic’s Claude wins. I’ve read that the founders were former OpenAI employees who were concerned about macrohard funding and that AI should value safety first and foremost. That line of thinking is something you never see anymore when large companies try to financially back new tech.
Probably the biggest downside is that the article I found talking about them is that they mention getting funding from gøøgl€, which is always a little worrying.
Unless anti-trust law changes, Google will just buy ChatGPT and Stability to reduce competition and form a new monopoly.
???
You know Microsoft already owns chat gpt right?
Well that’s just straight up not true.
OpenAI owns ChatGPT. Microsoft is a partner, but not an owner.
49% ownership means they dictate what Open AI does. Don’t kid yourself.
Sure, but to say Microsoft owns OpenAI is still disingenuous without that disclaimer.
It’s a distinction only legally.
At 49% ownership and being 100x the value of Open AI that is effectively the same as full control. Open AI cannot blink without Microsoft getting right of first refusal.
Bing AI begs to differ! https://imgur.com/a/UyGVCsE
Are you being serious right now? Or am I getting wooshed?
He’s being serious: that’s exactly what Bing with Chat GPT replies.
Which further illustrates why LLMs are incredibly niche tools of limited utility… As someone who uses them in their job every day.
You think anyone being serious brings up Bing?
Hahaha fair point.
They own a minority stake in the company
True, but that minority stake is 49%
Google will just buy 51% then, duh /s
