Venice AI, Experiential Labs, Maple AI, thank you for being transparent.
No gating the models, no collecting emails. I release these models for free, often with @jordanschenck also pitching in thousands of dollars to provide compute.
It’s sad that we’ve reached a point where simply asking for public acknowledgment of your work is even necessary. I’ve seen far more instances of people not receiving proper credit than instances where they do.
If you’re one of those people who aren’t properly crediting the people behind open source work, please don’t ruin it for the rest of those who do. And I don’t mean just in my case, but in general.
Open source is how EVERYONE benefits, and undermining the trust within that ecosystem is detrimental to us all. Stealing work and refusing to give credit makes you no different from OpenAI or Anthropic.
Allow me to also suggest using Rig to do some pipelines in the background.

You can run a pipeline in the background and observe it from android.
The AI cybersecurity discourse is so stupid. Beyond stupid actually. It's utterly incoherent.
Improve your security. That's the only takeaway that matters.
