The enterprise verdict on AI models: Why open source will win


While closed models like OpenAI's GPT-4 dominated early adoption, open source models have since closed the gap in quality, and are growing at least as quickly in the enterprise, according to multiple VentureBeat interviews with enterprise leaders.

The enterprise world is rapidly growing its usage of open source large language models (LLMs), driven by companies gaining more sophistication around AI – seeking greater control, customization, and cost efficiency. But when it moved to deploy real applications, it dropped OpenAI in favor of fine-tuning its own Llama-based models, to accommodate its specific financial use cases, driven by needs for stability and data sovereignty. “Starting next year, we expect future Llama models to become the most advanced in the industry,” declared Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in his July letter of support for open source AI.
