This seems like the equivalent of a university designing an ICE car...

What does anyone get out of this when we have open weight models already ?

Are they going to do very innovative AI research that companies wouldn't dare try/fund? Seems unlikely ..

Is it a moonshot huge project that no single company could fund..? Not that either

If it's just a little fun to train the next generation of LLM researchers.. Then you might as well just make a small scale toy instead of using up a super computer center

That it will actually be open and reproducible?

Including how it was trained, what data was used, how training data was synthesized, how other models were used etc. All the stuff that is kept secret in case of llama, deepseek etc.
