Cathie Wood’s ArkInvest Praises Opensource AI

Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest recently shared insights into the evolving landscape of AI models, with a focus on open-source versus closed systems. Notably, the research presents a chart highlighting the absolute log error of performance on Massive Multitask Language Understanding (MMLU) benchmarking.

Meanwhile, the data suggests that open-source models, including Mixtral, are making notable strides, even outperforming OpenAI’s ChatGPT models with fewer parameters. Cathie Wood, sharing the post and chart, expressed enthusiasm about the performance of open-source large language models (LLMs), acknowledging the tech race’s significance.

While centralized giants like Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4 currently dominate the AI landscape, the research points towards a potential shift. In addition, the data implies that open-source AI models could surpass centralized counterparts by 2024, marking a significant turning point in the AI race.

The emphasis on open-source AI aligns with the broader push for democratizing access to generative AI. However, amid this latest update, the AI tokens also witnessed a significant rally, suggesting that the investors are shifting their focus towards the segment.
