Open-source AI is no longer just an alternative in the traditional sense; it is becoming the main battleground for the next generation of intelligent applications.

The recent market focus is on an open-source AI project supported by well-known investors and gathering multiple veteran entrepreneurs. The concept of this project is very clear—while mainstream large companies generally move towards closed-source approaches, they are building an open AI ecosystem.

From a data perspective, the project's popularity continues to rise. The waiting list for chat applications has exceeded 2 million, and in the past 14 days, 70,000 new users have registered. More importantly, the scale of ecosystem collaboration has expanded to over 110 partners, covering industries such as traditional internet, finance, telecommunications, and even involving government agencies.

Why is everyone paying attention to this trend? On one hand, the research results have surpassed several leading closed-source AI vendors on multiple benchmark tests. On the other hand, considering that companies like OpenAI and Anthropic have already surpassed a valuation of $10 billion, the commercial potential of open-source AI routes has been seriously underestimated.

As the demand for decentralized AI infrastructure in Web3 applications continues to grow, this open technological direction may be rewriting the entire industry's competitive landscape.
