H2O.ai claims the open source crown

Enterprise tech company, H2O.ai announced today that its brand new model, H2O Lightning-4B, officially ranked first on the highly competitive open weights AI leaderboard, outperforming over 100 rival systems. What makes this so shocking is that this highly specialized "decision making" model managed to completely beat out massive and heavily funded commercial platforms that cost millions to build, so it achieves this extreme intelligence while operating at a radically reduced price point of just two cents per thousand corporate decisions which proves that small, and open source AI models are becoming just as smart as the multi billion dollar closed systems controlled by tech monopolies. This means high level automated business tools are becoming cheap which allows ordinary people and small startups to finally compete with tech giants without spending a fortune.

Why it matters: This proves that you don't need millions or even billions of dollars to compete against the big tech companies
