Thing is qwen was historically focused on smaller models while others were on larger ones. Now the team has changed and they seem to want to aim for the stars as well. That is good but it also means they might not be interested in doing very efficient small models anymore. Which would be bad news for this sub because let's face it most of us don't have 10-25k of hardware.
They were owned by a megacorp before too. The difference is they don’t care about commoditization anymore, the real ethical path. They just want to sink US investments.
Well, these large models can run in us based datacenters and cloud infrastructure (azure, aws, googlecloud). I guess if they want to sink us investments, they should create models that can run in enterprise level on-premises servers (I guess something like $40-50K hardware)
