tinygrad: API access is not distribution — without owning hardware, AI won't stay aligned
cephaloform · x · 2026-09-10
- tinygrad argues that API access is not distribution: relying on someone else's API gives you no real control over the model.
- Unless you own the hardware serving the model, or there's a robust marketplace of truly independent actors, the AI "will never be aligned with you."
- The point targets the structural risk of single-provider API dependence: behavior and terms can change at any time.
