A leaked document from a Google researcher suggesting that Google and OpenAI lack a competitive edge or ‘moat’ in the AI industry, as open-source AI models are outperforming these tech giants in terms of speed, customizability, privacy, and overall capabilities in machine learning.
The No Moat Memo highlights how open-source AI models like TensorFlow and PyTorch have gained popularity among researchers and developers due to their ease of use, flexibility, and transparency. These models are capable of delivering better results than proprietary models like those offered by Google and OpenAI.
