so thus the Venture capitalists are freaking out about their shares in the hundred billion dollar companies that have had the rug pulled from them and their pricing model has been undercut by 50 times .

and Nvidia who has been riding high on the sale of their CUDA core counts rising as they sell to US AI companies is now also in a panic situation because it has been shown that the compute is not a large as people thought

it is a laugh also as this chinese model will have been trained on anything they could scrape , and they would not have cared about copyright

as tinkerers around the world start plugging the models into their Ollama framework some wild stuff will start happening
