@natolambert @reflection_ai Can Puffer claim that title if it is open?
Nathan Lambert@natolambert@reflection_ai i want y'all to succeed but it's a little self-serving to say "America's open source AI lab" having released nothing

@natolambert @reflection_ai I'm with nathan on this one - really hoping to see more from reflection in the future, but this title currently belongs to Ai2, nvidia, etc.
