Rob LeClerc: OLMo 3.1 is the best open model, call for hyperscalers to back a transparent alternative

Replying to Elon Musk and Kevin Bass, Rob LeClerc argues the best open source model today is OLMo 3.1 — though it lags SOTA by roughly two orders of magnitude in scale. He calls on NVIDIA, Palantir, the hyperscalers and the neolabs to join forces and back a real, transparent open SOURCE alternative to closed frontier models.
