Will Open Source AI Overtake Closed Models? Ft. Olama, Fireworks and Open Router
Jeff Morgan, Dmytro Dzhulgakov, Alex Atallah, Dima, Matthew Walkerman
Industry leaders from Ollama, Fireworks, and OpenRouter advocate for a balanced future where open-source and closed-source models each command 50% of inference tokens, driven by the strategic advantages of decentralized innovation and lower capital barriers. While current open adoption sits at 30%, panelists predict this share will expand as foundational models improve through reinforcement learning and enterprises prioritize ownership of proprietary fine-tuned artifacts. This shift relies critically on sustainable decentralized inference infrastructure to compete against the entrenched advantages of large, closed-source providers.

Shoal searching: the South China sea simmers
Rosie Bloor, Jason Palmer, Aaron Connolly, Dima, Anne Hanna, Stanley Pignol
On June 17 and August 31, escalating maritime clashes between Chinese and Filipino vessels in the South China Sea resulted in hull damage and a sailor injury, prompting a provisional resupply understanding while analysts warn of sustained risks to US treaty credibility. Simultaneously, a humanitarian crisis in Gaza has uprooted thousands of civilians like student Dima, who face repeated displacement, economic collapse, and both direct and indirect fatalities amid active bombing. In Europe, a rebounding wolf population exceeding 20,000 has ignited a culture war over livestock losses, leading most EU governments to agree on downgrading legal protections despite ecologist warnings of a potential population crash.
