This presentation explores the evolution of generative AI, highlighting the trajectories of various models such as GPT-4, and examining the dynamics between commercial interests and the ethics of open collaboration. We offer an in-depth analysis of the levels of openness of different language models, assessing various components and aspects, and exploring how the (de)centralization of computing power and technology could shape the future of AI research and development.
Additionally, we explore concrete examples like LLaMA and its descendants, as well as other open and collaborative projects, which illustrate the diversity and creativity in the field, while navigating the complex waters of intellectual property and licensing.
