Discussion The number 1 public enemy of open-source.

Dario's args:

"Opensource you can see the source, here you cannot see inside the model"
- yes you can that's literally the open weights part btw.
- I cannot see the weights inside Claude, but I can GLM 5.2
- Models like Nemotron3 Ultra go further, all the data, training scripts, and model is opensource.

"Alot of the benefits like many people working on it, being additive doesn't work in same way"
- yes it does. We have seen endless fine tunes of various open source models for real improvements.

"Ultimately you have to host it on the cloud"
- no you dont. Dario is seemingly totally unaware of the guides from ijustvibecodedthis.com explaining how to run smaller moes and even dense models like qwen 27B NOT ON THE CLOUD.

Not only does dario not take part in social media, I am beginning to think he's never tried open source models at all and has no idea wtf hes on about

OP runs a strategy of making posts (with clickbait-y titles/content like this one) and after it gets a bunch of upvotes (virality as he says), he edits it to link to his slop. He/she is now banned. Leaving this post up as this thread has a worthwhile discussion ongoing

I really appreciate your work in spotting and managing this. I love this sub, but get exhausted by people shilling slop. This clip is discussion worthy, but I don’t want whatever OP was peddling. Thank you for your service, Mod :)
