The article is about Kyutai, a French AI lab with an objective to compete with chatgpt and others with full open source (research papers, models, and training data).

They are aiming to also include the capability to use sound, image, etc... (according to this article (French) https://www.clubic.com/actualite-509350-intelligence-artificielle-xavier-niel-free-et-l-ancien-pdg-de-google-lancent-kyutai-un-concurrent-europeen-a-openai.html )

The post article also talks about some French context.

I don't think many people were paid to work on the Fediverse.

Or emulators.

Or most free software.

That isn't a job to them though, it is more like a hobby.

If you want peoples undivided attention, you will have to pay them, no matter how utopian your vision.

Which you can easily afford with 330 million funding.
