The Race for AGI – Open Source vs Closed Source

Speaker: Daniel Han, CEO, Unsloth
Talk Abstract: Open models like DeepSeek, Gemma-4, Kimi, GLM, and Qwen (and more!) are great, but closed source models like Claude and ChatGPT still dominate in performance and real-world use. If only a few companies lead the AGI race, they end up shaping its direction. So how do we close the gap between large labs and open source? And how do we make open models run seamlessly across all hardware, including AMD GPUs, to truly democratize and expand access to AI?
