I think that pouring a lot of money in open source, by bounties or crowdfunding can accelerate open source alternatives to closed LLMs. Perhaps a middle way in which software will be declared open source six month from now can give enough compensation to those institutions contributing big money for developing LLM technology. That is a crowdfunding in which the great contributors have a limited time to be compensated, but capping the total prize just like that of chatgpt 3.5 or 4 depending of the model.
