The interesting thing about models this small is they should be able to be put on a single Taalas chip (the HC1 already runs a Llama 3.1 8B model). We're already at the point where half-decent reasoning could be run on an ASIC (and at mind-boggling speeds).
Yeah, if they can fit an 8B model that's really good at improving the output by thinking, running at 16K tok/s on Taalas would be mind-blowing.
Given this and the quality of open models, it makes no sense to me that there’s a future for Anthropic et all?
Packaging a capability into a consumable form will still be business.
It's like web hosting; all the open source tools are there and free, and yet website tools, hosts, etc flourish.
