This is your wakeup call.
Anthropic just took down Fable 5. It's over.
Here's the thing tho: no company or government will EVER be able to take away your local models.
There are Opus level models you can run right now on your home GPUs, and nobody can ever stop you from using them
This is only the beginning of events like this. Day 1. More government overreach will happen. This will only keep happening more and more as models get closer to AGI
Become sovereign. Buy your own compute. Before even that becomes illegal
This is big: all access to Mythos and Fable AI models disabled for everyone outside America.
First thoughts:
1. Technology is the ultimate weapon. National sovereignty, national security, all of it is now about technology.
2. Globalization is dead and Bharat must find her own way ahead.
We must keep these two ideas in mind.
What can our government do right now? Ensure that orgs in India embrace smaller models, both Indian and Chinese open source ones. With a bit of effort, we can make them work. Anyway, why pay money to people who don't even want to sell to you?
We must deepen our R&D. Sarvam has been on it and we have been on it but remember that the latest models cost not only huge GPU budgets to train, the GPUs themselves are restricted. So we can't afford the scale of money (of the order of $100+ billion to even get in the game!) and even if we could come up with the money, we can't get all the GPUs. I would not like to ask the government to fund tens of billions of dollars on this anyway - the money has far better uses.
Zoho has been pursuing alternative R&D approaches that are far, far less expensive but by its nature cutting edge R&D takes time and we are patient. I am confident we will get there.
Any remaining people in India who have delusions about globalization should wake up now.
Anyone else who is an #AndroidDev who prefers writing core business logic over creating/designing UI?
(I feel the process of designing the UI very tiring an unmotivating)
At this #DevFest season, China GDGs hosted 25 DevFests with 8,000 dev & 180k online viewers. They shared & learned technologies including TensorFlow, GCP, Android, Flutter, Web and . Kudos to all China GDGs and devs!
