Good, it's going to be important for this tech to be open. Stability has been hurting for support in comparison to OpenAI, Meta, and Google. Hopefully this can really help them moving forwards.

Does Stability AI open source their models?
Investing in one company is not a bet against another company.
Especially when stability is doing something completely different from openai
Honest question. How are they completely different?
OpenAI is known for ChatGPT, which is a text generator that works for things like writing a haiku. Though OpenAI also has a image generating AI (DALLE), it doesn't seem nearly as popular as its competitors Midjourney and SDXL. People just assume ChatGPT is OpenAI's main product, but they are actually competing on everything.
In the AI race, so far I'm hoping, assuming what they say about them is true, that Anthropic's Claude wins. I've read that the founders were former OpenAI employees who were concerned about macrohard funding and that AI should value safety first and foremost. That line of thinking is something you never see anymore when large companies try to financially back new tech.
Probably the biggest downside is that the article I found talking about them is that they mention getting funding from gøøgl€, which is always a little worrying.
Unless anti-trust law changes, Google will just buy ChatGPT and Stability to reduce competition and form a new monopoly.
???
You know Microsoft already owns chat gpt right?
They own a minority stake in the company
True, but that minority stake is 49%
Google will just buy 51% then, duh /s
