As Chinese AI models go closed source, and all U.S. frontier models are closed, there is a massive opportunity for a western open source AI Lab A future lack of competitive open source AI models is a net negative for humanity, low cost intelligence and sovereignty

Much as I like arcee I find it wrong that they have like an OOM more clout than Zyphra, which is also a serious US OSSAI lab. Further, @ZyphraAI also does basic research outside of the LLM domain.

Be on the lookout for @arcee_ai. They appear to be trying to compete on the merits and not just that they're a US-based lab, but they are the only USA OSSAI frontier-ish lab that I'm aware of and their Trinity Large models show they're on a decent track ATM.
