Pplx and Dbrx founder giving $1M to first OSS AI that gets 90% on SWE-bench
twitter.comI tweeted this on stage at NeurIPS on weds: "I'll give $1M to the first open source AI that gets 90% on this sweet new contamination-free version of SWE-bench - http://kprize.ai" - K Prize is a new kaggle competition
Realistically, an AI that an perform that well is worth a lot, lot more than $1M.
yeah i agree. one of my goals is to inspire and honor those that work on open source AI.
people who work on open source tend to be motivated by things like impact and the excitement of being part of something bigger than themselves - at least that's how i always feel when i'm around Berkeley and get to meet or work with OG BSD hackers and people who helped invent core internet protocols or the guys who invented RISC or more recently RISC-V
those people are going to do this kind of OSS work and share it with the world anyway, without any cash prize. i think of this as a sort of thank you gift for them. and also a way to maybe convince a few people to explore that path who might not have otherwise.
