<p>Now that the unit economics are laid out in the open, What stops any of the companies or even startups from anywhere in the world with some investment $ and competence from spinning up and offering their own version of the inference engines, undercutting any moat that the current leaders have?<p>I could even see F1000 companies having their own backstop intelligence for most of the tasks and only use frontier where it is absolutely needed or as much as it is under their IT budget.<p>Won't it be race to the bottom when they compete on cost? Is regulatory capture the only moat left for the market leaders now?</p>

<p>Wondering how well this does with tool calling. Any one has any numbers or videos or anything using this?<p>From the github repo it seems like you really don't need a big Mac with huge amounts of RAM but SSD is sufficient.<p>If this is anywhere near 50 TPS, that would be a game changer in the personal LLM space!</p>

<p>The art styling is more or less uniform too.<p>I haven't seen many AI works that produces a pelican on a bicycle done in a "Ligne Claire" style, for example.<p>I guess AI's narrows down the output probability space drastically and converge on some agreed upon aesthetics.

<p>It's hard to keep track of how many times American football or Baseball is used as a back drop of some TV shows or a hollywood blockbuster. How many US pop culture figures have performed at half time shows. How many U.S. heads of states have mentioned about their favorite teams and stadiums etc.,</p>

<p>Agree. "Culture" provides the nurturing "gap fill" while the capital is not exactly flowing and rules are evolving over time. Culture keeps the lights on in lean years and builds camaraderie when the sports is thriving.<p>Cannot keep count on how many times I have heard of "Babe Ruth" (1895 - 1948) mentioned in a movie/tv show entertainment context, where a grandpa or an elderly figure is fondly reminiscing things to their gen X grandkids!</p>

<p>Answer is simple.<p>Why isn't U.S. better at Field hockey, Badminton, Cricket, Ping pong etc.?<p>Ideally a capitalistic system is supposed to produce the best or close to the best in each category to stay competitive then what gives?<p>Capitalism produces the "best" in categories where there is a high demand for a product. In the U.S., the demand is for high-scoring, high-production-value entertainment. This is closely entwined with "culture".<p>This is why the U.S. leads in sports that are tailored for television and massive stadium revenue. Sports that are more nuanced, low-scoring, or lack a domestic TV or the US cultural zeigeist simply cannot compete for the attention span of the American consumer, and by extension, the capital that follows that attention.</p>
