We're working on best-available analyses of where open models come from, who uses them, and how much. What questions do you have?
There are like 10-20 Chinese orgs shipping open models that I try and keep a somewhat close eye on and there are like 3-4 in the rest of the world 😳
This also means you can write off your Interconnects AI subscription. Not official tax advice.
