In this brief commentary, the speaker highlights a recent breakthrough in the AI landscape: a Chinese startup has released KIMI, an open-weight large language model comparable to ChatGPT, available for free download. The speaker notes that this challenges the belief that massive capital is required to build such models. The trend continues with the former OpenAI CTO launching Inkling, another free open model, and major providers like OpenAI and Anthropic slashing their subscription prices by up to 50%. The speaker frames free AI as a democratizing force, likening it to electricity that can empower anyone, especially those in under-resourced settings, and asks viewers to consider how they would use this "Einstein" that works 24/7 for free.
