alt Hacker NewsI'm very grateful that we have a lot of players training LLM's, including several that are published as open models and open weights.
I fully expect LLM results to start including ads, but because of the competition I hope/believe the incentives are much better than they are for, say Google's search monopoly.
It could potentially be more insidious though.
We'll probably start sending prompts to multiple models and comparing the results with lower-power local models.

Open weights don’t solve it; the promotion will happen during post training and the results will be in the weights.
I really hope that they don't include ads in paid tiers. But I'm not sure how much you would actually have to pay to cover the potential lost ad revenue... it might be too much.
I start with "I don't have any money, I need an open source library that does this" lol.....even at work.
