(reposting from locallama and lower down here) yep that's true.
one of my goals is to inspire and honor those that work on open source AI. Those people tend to be motivated by things like impact and the excitement of being part of something big. i know that's how i always feel when i'm around Berkeley and get to meet or work with OG BSD hackers or the people who helped invent core internet protocols.
those people are doing this kind of OSS work and sharing it with the world anyway, without any cash prize. i think of this as a sort of thank you gift for them. and also a way to maybe convince a few people to explore that path who might not have otherwise.
