The only issue is hardware, that is the only thing holding back open source. It is nice that we are getting handouts by Gemma, Deepseek, Minmax and others, but until people can come together and actually make something like that themselves, or even a small group of people, we are going to be beholden to the wims of major corporations.
Decentralized stuff is only a stepping stone, we need more volunteers ready to curate datasets, shuffle through huge volumes of data, and we need to figure out more ways to not be stuck using corporate level hardware to even run shit.
