Harper Carroll (ex-Meta AI, Stanford CS background) published episode 4 of her Open Model Series with Hugging Face AI/ML engineer Merve Noyan. Core claim: the open-source/open-weight frontier is about 7 months behind the closed-model frontier. The episode covers what open-weight AI is, how it works, and how to run these models on your own compute — a good entry point for local deployment.
