Over the last four days I've few shotted a 1:1 clone (and improvement) of Fal, OpenRouter, and Replicate in Rust. It's going to be open source.
I've lined up $300k of monthly commitments for it that land at launch. Might apply to YC with it.
Moving "organic" is too slow for the world today.
The ball is moving towards open source and this will include fine tunes and LoRAs, and even more fertile growth after that. There's an abundant future market in that direction.
Several billion dollar businesses started as open source clones of existing things. Some found unique business lines, others simply did a better job.
Then why are you trying to make something?
Why?
Because it's incremental improvement.
Because it's making a dent in the world.
Because creation feels better than consumption.
Because we're maybe 10-20 iterations away (250 years, tops?) from brain uploads and everlasting life harvesting the energy of distant stars. Or at least our descendants are. And that's pretty cool.
You can predict 250 years in the future now and when 'brain uploads' will happen and when everlasting life will happen and when the harvesting of distant stars will happen?
That's impressive because you've made predictions a year into the future and they never came true.
