Zuckerberg and Facebook gets a lot of hate but at least they invest a lot into engineering and open source.

I personally think our academia should be training and curating these kinds of models and the data they are based on, but this is an acceptable second best.

IMO there are much better ways to spend 300 million in research beyond firing up a cluster for 60 days to train on internet content.

Spending $100 million one time on a GPT4-level model that is open-source would help with a lot of that research. Especially after all the 3rd party groups fine-tuned it or layered their tools on it.

I think the Copilot-equivalent tools alone would make it quickly pay itself off in productivity gains. Research summaries, PDF extraction, and OCR would add more to that.
