Imad flags inference providers as key beneficiaries of open-source model optimization

Inference platforms (Fireworks $17B, Modal $10B, Base10 $10B) have raised massive capital to optimize open-weight models like Kimi K3 for Western hardware, capturing value as enterprises self-host.

Base10 at $10B joins inference arms race for open-weight models

Base10 is part of the cohort of well-funded inference providers that will aggressively optimize open-source models (Kimi K3, Inkling) for enterprise self-hosting, accelerating the commoditization of frontier intelligence.

Inference provider Modal at $10B valuation to optimize open-source models

Same thesis as Fireworks: Modal and peers will spend raised capital optimizing Chinese open-weight models for Nvidia/AMD hardware, creating a low-cost inference layer that undercuts frontier lab APIs.

"You've seen Fireworks just raise at a $17 billion valuation. Others like Modal at 10 billion, Base 10 at 10 billion. These are the inference providers of open source models. They'…"

Samsung breaks sub-1-bit quantization barrier for on-device frontier models
Samsung's 'nano quant' model achieves sub-1-bit-per-weight quantization, enabling frontier-class models on smartphones. This positions Samsung as a key enabler of edge AI and a potential winner in the on-device inference race.
"Samsung published a model called nano quant that breaks the one bit one effective bit per weight barrier. So it's sub one bit which I think we're going to be talking quite a bit m…"
