A big slice of a small pie does not prove the majority. And I'm speaking as someone who is indeed a user of those OpenRouter Chinese models.

Good for you, but generally engineers do not have the vision. And whether you have your business or not has no bearing on the questions you asked, the scale is monumental over your 7 figure business.

If they want European models (whether for regulatory or other reasons) then they have to accept it, whether they like it or not, because Mistral is not competitive. Personally I don't believe Europe as a whole can compete, being cutthroat these days is just not in their culture anymore like it is in Silicon Valley in the US and China as a whole.

I like reading.

Why would a derived image be under copyright?

Therefore copyright is not necessary.

I can't make and sell a remix of an existing IP and even in cases of free distribution it can get dicey legally.

Your comments are being auto banned by the way, probably due to being a new account and probably due to writing too much like an AI with HN's detectors.

I guess they presume it requires on the good will of everyone to live peacefully without violating (non-existent) property laws over, say, robbing you in your sleep.

Isn't that just...patent licensing? But I agree that it should be a forced outcome so everyone can use it rather than waiting a ridiculous 20 years.

Quite rich coming from a creator apparently, only certain creations are deemed worthy by you, seems like it invalidates your entire stance on the sanctity of art that all these pro-copyright people seem to hold.

Yes? I don't understand how this is even a question, this is exactly how it worked throughout human history.

People have been paid artists before copyright even existed, what some might call patronage.

It's funny because copyright only benefits the rich now. Record labels hold all the copyright to songs, same with publishers for books, Disney made sure it lasts over a hundred years. The days of copyright being held by individuals in any real sense is long gone.

Information entropy. The amount of data an LLM ingests cannot be compressed to the size of the weights even at maximum theoretical compression.

A game is a specific work to be copied so no, but the system it runs on can still be without copyright.

Laws are not only for humans, there are laws for bots as well, like anti spam, but that's besides the point because in reality behind LLMs there are humans and so humans still control them, therefore laws target them too, and now it looks like humans using LLMs to train via ingestion of books is deemed fair use.

I asked why, not what.

It depends on the book, if I'm reading Lord of the Rings or something dense obviously I'd slow down. But for pulp fiction or nonfiction even, I'd go fast. I typically read between one and two books a week, generally pretty decent sized ones too.

None of their flagship models were open source.

Large language models models. Just say LLMs.

Cursor is doing quite well with Grok for coding.

Who cares what leaders say, they all lie, it's about what they actually get done and Musk has gotten a lot done even if he promised much and more. Words don't matter, only outcomes do.

Grok 4.5 is Opus (perhaps 4.6 or 4.7 or so) class at coding, at a very high speed and a fraction of the cost. It beats Gemini models, even the latest 3.6 Flash, at every metric.

So, you're complaining about it then.

Open source is not just open weight, even if weights are released under MIT. The source code to generate that binary weight blob isn't there.

No, it's just that it was an accidental leakage of business vernacular, like product managers or when managers in a company talk about a certain product they're working on.

This is no different than a job except for some reason people attribute this type of work with "meaning" and not others. Yes, if you want to make money, you must produce something others want. If you want to make something with "meaning" then do so once you're financially rich. Your comment is literally the starving artist stereotype.

Or someone like me who reads often, and at great volume, and wants to read more. Not everyone is like you.

Europeans who want European sovereign models, most likely.
