I totally get questioning the actual $6.5M price tag, but even if it was say 10X that price, that's still way more efficient than what current AI models were saying it would cost.
China new exactly what they were doing putting this out as open source. They wanted to make sure their model was accessible to anyone, and screw over the big dog US tech companies as much as possible. They basically threw a grenade into the US tech stock market yesterday.
Let's see if this is a temporary blip or something permanent. I'll be the first to admit I don't know enough about AI to know how serious of a threat this is to the US tech giants. But anything that disrupts all those mega corps is ok in my books. They are getting way too big in size and influence.
