Open source AI models seem to be catching up fast. The US government is desperate to keep the lead

envision that gap becoming in a number of months between a frontier model releasing this latest version and an open source version being able to replicate similar capability yeah at least a month definitely at least a month, maybe a month to two months. I don't really see it getting lower than that. um and and I think what's what they what they're gonna try to start doing and it seems like what they're doing now is they're gonna be limiting people who has who have access to those frontier models. they're gonna say only you you you has access and so they can very well monitor to make sure that they're not able to catch up that quickly. um so I guess in that case probably the frontier models would only go to like the government and like one of the top people and later on they would then allow it to distill down. so the US government can probably always stay ahead um ahead of the curve
