## Quote — verbatim

> There was a publication... they talked about how Google basically said they have no moat with open source AI... When that happened, open source AI was maybe about a year behind close source AI. Now it's three months behind... Some models are way better than close source models. Why? Because when you open source, you get more talent looking at the model.

Quantified gap-closing claim (spans into the 01:09:14 block), citing the leaked 2023 Google "no moat" memo; he concludes open source overtaking closed AI is "inevitable."
