The world of AI boffins really is baffling, sometimes. I'm finally used to the idea that I can chat to a non-sentient, very knowledgeable and occasionally hallucinatory machine, and already we're talking about AI models interacting with AI models. It's only in such a world that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang could think to utter the seemingly contradictory statement: "Proprietary versus open is not a thing. It’s proprietary and open.”
He said this in a recent GTC panel discussion with various AI company CEOs, and the entire discussion is framed around this mix of open and closed models. The others seem to agree with the Nvidia CEO that open plus proprietary is the way.
