Today, we closed our latest funding round with $122 billion in committed capital at an $852B post-money valuation. The fastest way to expand AI’s benefits is to put useful intelligence in people’s hands early and let access compound globally. This funding gives us resources to lead at scale. openai.com/index/accelera…
Regarding recent press coverage
@theo @mweinbach Hey Theo, I would love to either have you over on my channel or join you in a live stream to chat more about the complexities around local models and break it down a bit in terms of reliability for your users I also would love to hear more about your experience w/ the community
a corporate salesman on an openai paycheck tells you local models aren't there yet. an influencer selling you an API wrapper calls the local AI community on X "cancer." meanwhile we're out here modding communities, helping strangers debug their configs at midnight, fighting spam, pushing open source, and doing it all for free. these people don't want you running models on your own hardware. they want you as a customer. every local install is revenue they lose. every migration from their bloat is a subscription cancelled. don't let corporate noise and engagement bait merchants convert you into their recurring revenue. buy a GPU. compile from source. own your thinking. the community they call cancer is the same community that will help you get started for free while they charge you per token.
