🇺🇸 Build America's Open AI Model
Chinese models like DeepSeek & Qwen are strong, cheap & global. America needs its open alternative: sovereign, transparent, trusted.
US-led frontier open model.
- Efficient MoE for performance/cost
- US data & alignment
- Full transparency & customization
Realistic path: post-train strong bases, targeted pretrain.
For security, control & leadership.
Investors/talent: DMs open. Let's do this.
Build your factory so it compounds: 1. Each build contributes something. A shared component or like an integrations. 2. Design your build process so new models show meaningful gains. I use receipts so I can compare rebuilds at each stage. This makes new model days exciting.
