Open source AI models allow developers and researchers to build upon existing knowledge to accelerate progress toward groundbreaking applications. Open sourcing models is also a key step in maintaining the ethics and integrity of AI as a field.
The brightest minds in AI often struggle, however, to access the latest open source models and the resources needed to build with them, presenting massive barriers to progress.
Hyperbolic onboards the latest open source models that builders crave to our AI Inference Service. We serve them in our open and accessible AI ecosystem created to democratize access to AI for those building AI for the people, leveling the playing field for innovation.
What’s Gatekeeping Open Source AI?
While open source AI models are technically free and available to anyone, the paradox of "open source" AI lies in the hurdles put around it.
The computational demands of running open source AI models alone are staggering—most models require cutting-edge GPUs or specialized hardware that can cost builders as much as a new car. Even with the right hardware, the storage required for hosting a model can balloon to hundreds of gigabytes, or even terabytes.
Actually getting these models to run is like being handed the keys to a Formula 1 car—free to use, but requiring a highly specialized skillset beyond that of any other type of race car to operate. Getting optimal performance requires careful fine-tuning, optimization, and expertise in a maze of software dependencies.
Finally, as these models grow in size and complexity, managing the infrastructure becomes a job in itself, requiring constant updates and maintenance to keep pace with rapid advancements. As a result, despite being "open source," these AI models remain practically inaccessible to all but the most well-resourced organizations. It's a situation that ironically contradicts the democratic spirit of open source development, creating an invisible wall between these powerful tools and the broader community they are meant to serve.
