Original: Jason Lemkin: Open-Source AI Has Peaked — AMD Buys World Labs for $8.2B, Meta Pays $500M for a CEO
SaaStr founder Jason Lemkin argues open-source AI has passed its peak, pointing to a wave of blockbuster deals: AMD acquiring Fei-Fei Li's World Labs for $8.2 billion and Meta paying roughly $500 million to recruit a top AI executive. The claims suggest consolidation and talent wars are now driving the AI industry more than open models.
