What if open-source AI focused less on giant models and more on reusable capabilities?
Mirrored from r/LocalLLaMA for archival readability. Support the source by reading on the original site.
Instead of everyone building another general-purpose model, the community could distill open models into domain specialists—biology, Python, accounting, OCR, and more.
Developers could combine these capabilities into local tools:
small model + OCR + accounting
→ local accounting assistant
Like Linux, open-source AI could grow through shared components rather than complete systems.
Could domain capabilities become the fundamental unit of contribution?
