Tether Founder Paolo Ardoino: Big Tech's Closed AI is Attacking Open Source Models
Tether founder Paolo Ardoino stated that centralized big tech AI is launching attacks on open source AI models under the guise of "security."
The fundamental reality is that closed model business models face extinction risks, having invested huge capital expenditures but struggling to sustain.
In market mechanisms, the competition between open source and closed AI is intensifying, driving developers and companies to decentralize their allocations, with funds accelerating into open source infrastructure and decentralized AI tools. This event-driven diversification of the AI ecosystem benefits open source platforms like Hugging Face, while high capital expenditure closed giants are under pressure.

Paolo Ardoino, as the founder of Tether, has long observed the intersection of crypto and AI, pointing out that the high computational investment of closed AI cannot match the rapid iteration advantages of open source. Regulatory excuses have become tools for competition.
Capital trends show that under competitive pressure, AI industry capital is shifting towards open source collaboration and distributed training, motivated by the desire to lower marginal costs and accelerate innovation, strategically using open source network effects to counter the monopolies of closed giants.
Similar to the evolution of early internet open protocols against closed systems, the current AI ecosystem is in a transformation phase of intense competition between high investment in closed models and open source collaboration.
Essentially, this involves capital concentration and technological substitution, with mechanisms where the rapid iteration and low-cost advantages of open source models threaten the high capital barriers of closed AI. Capital is concentrating on open source infrastructure and community-driven projects, shifting pricing power from those investing heavily in computational resources to builders of efficient collaborative and distributive open source ecosystems.
