Literally right this minute, my mini data center is running over 20,000 tokens / second (aggregate), processing science papers, articles, transcripts, PDF files, scans and more for use in my curated document index that powers BrightAnswers.ai (a free AI research engine that offers accurate citations from real research documents).
NONE of this would be possible without open source AI. In fact, 100% of these tokens right now are being processed by Qwen3.8-27B including VL (vision language) processing of page scans.
I spent over $2 million putting all this together over the last 2.5 years, but today this entire effort could be done at 1/10th that cost thanks to open source AI.
My engine is free for you to use, even though it costs my company money to host it, because I believe in paying it forward. I use open source software, and I build free-to-use platforms that benefit humanity.
Lets all do MORE of this!
Open source AI will prevail. We will set up servers and relays all over the world if we have to. And we'll use torrent sites for distribution if we have to. Anyone who thinks they're going to regulate open source AI and require a government license to use it has another thing coming.
Because of open source AI, we now have > 75,000 free books published at BrightLearn.ai and 2,000 translations completed into Spanish and Chinese, with French approaching 2,000.
We also have thousands of free audiobooks completed, all available as free downloads.
My team is using all AI-coding to add single sign-on features to make downloading all the books across multiple languages easier, and next we're creating books in Italian and German. All 100% free. Open source knowledge. Sharable everywhere.
This is the way!
Prediction: HUGE AI-related market selloff coming Monday morning. Anything that touches AI is going to take a massive dump. All thanks to Anthropic and OpenAI pushing the "AI doom op" narrative.
