All-In Podcast · video

“Could I replace 490 of them with minor AI capabilities and...leverage five to 10 main platforms?”

OPEN-WEIGHT AI MODELS
bullish
All-In Podcast · video
Open-weight models should capture 75%–90% of token usage because self-hosting can be dramatically cheaper while preserving enterprise intellectual property and satisfying geopolitical requirements.
“75% to 90%...of all token usage will go to open weight models.”

FRONTIER AI MODELS FOR ROUTINE PRODUCTION WORKLOADS
bearish
All-In Podcast · video

“Doing it for production usage is where I am skeptical that it's of value except for a tiny number of use cases.”
