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?

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.

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.
I mentioned to someone that I ask ChatGPT things all the time and they were like, “Don’t you know it doesn’t actually know facts? It just spews bullshit that sounds plausible.”
The joyous thing for me is that’s why I’m using it: To generate plausible sounding nonsense for dungeons and dragons. That, to me, has been one of the biggest use cases for me. Name generation is fantastic through it. “List 10 suggestions for epic sounding names for a tavern built into a cliffside in a deep elven rain forest” and then work shopping it from there.
As a programmer, I also make pretty consistent use of GitHub Copilot… Because half of programming is boiler plate that LLMs are really good at generating. Super useful for explaining what kind of statically defined array I want without having to type out the whole thing myself. Or, and I think this is my favorite use, any time I need to translate from one data format to another, just describing my input and my desired output gets me a great starting point that I can refine.
But asking them for facts? Nah lol
I’m also a programmer. I’ve found it’s pretty useless except for code that is very repetitive (test cases) or for documentation… But been there it’s a coin flip as to if I’ll have to go in and correct it.
And there’s no indication that it’ll ever be better than that tbh. No matter what articles on MSN say.
You think anyone being serious brings up Bing?
Hahaha fair point.
They own a minority stake in the company
