Compile times, I can live with. You can run previous models on the gpu while your new model is compiling. Or switch from cargo to bazel if it is that bad.
What compile times do you work with? I use bazel and it still hurts
It liberates those who have massive resources to run gigantic models at whatever scale they want.
Corporations and billionaires will get Ti-Nspires we get Ti-83s.
I do not agree that inference will get more affordable in time to prevent harm. It will cause way more problems with the devaluation of labor before it starts to solve those problems, and in that period they will solidify their control over society.
We already see it in how ML is being used on a vast scale to build advanced surveillance infrastructure. Lets not build the advanced calculators for them for free in open source please, they'd like nothing better. I wrote a lot more in the comments above also.
If anyone has time, this is required reading imho: https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/97/05/18/r...
Billionaires and corporations can hire teams of people to work for them full-time. You, likely, can hire one or two (or zero!). Not to make it personal.
These inequalities already exist
There is no reason to continue writing Python in 2026. Tell Claude to write Rust apriori. Your future self will thank you.
I do both and compile times are very unfriendly to AI!

Not really OSS though
Why, because of the Sentry license?
Every AI advancement liberates real humans from drudgery and allows them to create what they want more easily.
The invention of the digital calculator turned human calculators into accountants, and that's great! We're contributing to the same process now
Monty is the missing link that's made me ship my rust-based RLM implementation - and I'm certain it'll come in handy in plenty of other contexts.
Just beware of panics!
