When europes mismanagement of AI suddenly turns out to be the best thing that has ever happened. At best only few billions lost to training models that become obsolete next month.

Almost all about open weight, but the title says Open Source.

I see a gap in the ecosystem: too few mature open source harnesses.

I’d like a community led, BYOK, modular project where I can define, orchestrate, monitor and maintain agents.

Of course this is a new area and projects like this take time. But still, IMHO, a gap exists.

Unless someone wants to recommend their favorite FOSS tool; please do.

I use opencode as my harness which is pretty ok. I daily drive it with no issues. It's not going to do any orchestration for you but it works.

I'm slowly moving to Pi but it's a very DIY system. Think neovim for agents. I think it has the potential to be where I end up for a while but it's a long road.

I’m not ready to celebrate the victory of open models just yet considering all the good ones are built by private, VC funded companies. How long will they continue to be charitable? And what’s their actual business model once the money stops and investors start demanding returns?

Gemini had a pop-up on my phone today, asking me if I wanted to "bring Gemini up to speed" by importing conversations from my other AI apps. This tells me that Google is threatened, or data hungry as always, or both. Open source AI, Anthropic, and OpenAI, knocking on doors.

I don't love the appeal to romanticism portrayed in this article.

It’s literally a paradox. It cannot be changed. Open Source AI will ultimately win. Think it through.

It appears open models were used to create this slop.

That opening is so hard to understand what they are trying to say, from the font and how it's written. It took me several times rereading to even grasp.

Plus the article is filled with cryptic things like:

    Open ships easy.
    Open deploys hard.
What?! Is it a meta answer to "the state of open source AI" question?

From the title of a chart:

> The venture-funded open-source ecosystem: total disclosed funding, USD M

> Bars grow as you scroll.

The bars, in fact, don't grow as you scroll. And I don't even see why they should.

On my device, bars grow as I scroll. I want your feature, being able to just scroll the static page without elements jumping around.

On my device, they grow as I scroll to them.

I think it’s supposed to mean “open source is easily shipped, but open source is hard to deploy”? Or perhaps “deploys hard” is a figure of speach, as in “we are deploying this open source and we are deploying it /hard/“? I don’t know, it’s not good.

This is truly some proper slop. The "PRODUCTION RATE BY COMPANY SIZE" graph has bars that start offset from the text underneath them, which LOOKS like a mistake that happened due to word wrap, but if you visibly compare the 54% to the 55% bars they seem to have compensated for this?! I can't tell if his was on purpose or accident and it's impossible to take the data seriously!

This is on mobile in portrait. In landscape the text doesn't wrap or offset anything.

So good at style, so weak on substance

Quick fix for the font, which many people are (rightly) complaining about.

  Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName("quote")).forEach(p => { p.style.marginTop = "20px"; p.classList.remove("quote", "reveal") })
The issue is that all of the text is a quote, and that renders enormous. That’s probably fine for a tiny quote amongst more text, but here it is jarring.

querySelector/querySelectorAll() are great for plucking out deeply nested elements but if all you need is to find all elements of a certain class and the API gives you a tool to do exactly that, why not do that instead of reaching for the general-purpose Swiss army knife? Sure, the execution speed difference may be only measurable in microseconds, but it takes about the same amount of time to type so why not use the specific tool?
