37:57Now PlayingIt has been a wild few weeks and eventful few months in AI: DeepSeek, OpenAI, Stargate, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, Salesforce, Google, Elon Musk, and more.
In all of this, there's a heightened focus on what it takes to train AI models and the importance of opensource AI. This week on the GeekWire Podcast, we get insights from Ali Farhadi () , CEO of the Allen Institute for AI (Ai2) () , the Seattlebased nonprofit that has been innovating in opensource AI since long before it was popular.
"If the U.S. wants to maintain its edge ... we have only one way, and that is to promote open approaches, promote open-source solutions," Farhadi says, reflecting on the past few months. "Because no matter how many dollars you're investing in an ecosystem, without communal, global efforts, you're not going to be as fast."
