What’s the deal with OpenAI and xAI? Apparently he is no longer on the board of OpenAI but is still a financial backer. Yet he’s also starting a company to compete directly with them. Why sabotage his own interests?
Personally, I’d really like the option of running LLMs locally, but the hardware requirements make it hard. Small models run okay on CPU or low-end GPUs, but anything approaching the complexity and usefulness of GPT4 or DeepSeek requires a hefty GPU setup. Considering how much even old hardware like the P40 has gone up in price, it’s hard to justify the cost.
Also, if theres two competitors and both could give more than a 2x return, then its a safe bet. The only way its an unsafe bet is if they can both fail, but hes clearly not thinking about that kind of thing.
Sabotaging his own interests is all he does. Should have stuck to running his businesses and not get involved in politics, calling people names, doing nazi salutes, etc. Fuck around and find out is his motto it seems.

Just dumped chatgpt for Le chat. We’ll see how this pans out

Well I figure he does want control.
