Olmo 3: Charting a path through the model flow to lead open-source AI

This is how the future of "AI" has to look like: Fully-traceable inferences steps, that can be inspected & adjusted if needed.

Without this, I don't see how we (the general population) can maintain any control - or even understanding - of these larger and more opaque becoming LLM-based long-inference "AI" systems.

Without transparency, Big Tech, autocrats and eventually the "AI" itself (whether "self-aware" or not) will do whatever they like with us.

You've answered your own question as to why many people will want this approach gone entirely.
