Reddit user slams AI labs over compute hoarding and closed weights: open SOTA models instead
RTFMicheal · reddit · 2026-09-13
A Reddit post criticizes frontier AI companies for buying up compute, driving up GPU/RAM prices, and throttling consumer subscriptions to run brute-force agent swarms. The author's asks: stop distorting compute pricing, stop throttling subscription usage to fuel private agent clusters, and release SOTA weights — arguing models trained on humanity's collective knowledge should be open, and decentralized compute is more eco-friendly and safer than massive data centers.
