Open Source AI seems to be setting Silicon Valley up to fail. While they pour hundreds of billions into closed AI systems in the hope they’ll get a ‘Unicorn’ that will dominate the market, at every step Open Source AI equals or exceeds them. If this goes on long enough, eventually the Venture Capitalists are going to lose.

Is the same about to happen with robotics? This announcement is not the first time a Chinese group has open-sourced a robotics model. The US is desperate to slow Chinese technological advancement. Is this all part of Chinese counter-measures? If it isn’t, is it just a coincidence it will severely hamper how Silicon Valley functions?

The Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI), a prominent non-profit research institute, has unveiled RoboBrain 2.0—an open-source AI model engineered to serve as the cognitive core for China’s next generation of humanoid robots.

    demonstrated that open source AI is not only able to keep up with large AI companies,

    Mostly because the hard part is training, not coding…

    The VC is what pays for that training, with the hopes that once it’s trained, it will be good enough to make money.

    Its great there’s an open source code for an AI, but it’s not what you think is happening.
