Market size of Open-Source models

Research on the market size of open-source models involved parsing models released on Hugging Face, differentiating between base models, adapters, and fine-tunes, and categorizing them by type (LLM/diffusors). Training a 70b model from scratch can cost around $1.6-2.1M, but purchasing hardware for training would cost approximately $30M, which is 15 times the cloud prices.
