Problem Statement

In today's Generative AI development landscape, the industry is characterized by significant market concentration, resulting in premium pricing for users despite a strong demand for these services. Conversely, open-source contributors have a hard time accessing the necessary computational resources to offer competitive and cost-effective alternatives to users. Additionally, open-source contributors often encounter a lack of incentives for their valuable work and efforts, further complicating their ability to contribute meaningfully to the field and provide accessible solutions.

This situation creates a significant power imbalance that can impede competition, innovation, and access to AI tools for smaller companies and individuals. Moreover, it may result in privacy breaches, biased algorithms, and other adverse societal consequences.
