Decentralized training must be solved before open frontier models stop
Erik Voorhees and Greg Osuri: "The Power of Permissionless" - Akash Accelerate '24 (Akash Network)
“If that can happen before the Metas of the world stop releasing their frontier models open source, then we have a very good future ahead of us. If that doesn’t happen before those companies stop releasing the open source models, then we have a possibly very dystopian future in front of us.” — 00:18:47
Context: Speaker: Erik Voorhees, not Greg. His thesis that the open-source AI “honeymoon period” depends on solving efficient decentralized model training.
