Ollama CEO Jeffrey Morgan 表示,开源模型落后前沿闭源模型不到三个月,下一个要解决的问题是极致效率——这为创业者提供了协调快速、廉价模型来解决复杂问题的新机会。
要点
- 开源模型“足以胜任80%的任务”,而且“非常快、极其便宜”,将成为首批推动大规模应用的模型类别。
- Ollama 拥有900万开发者和85%的财富500强客户,其云平台自年初以来 token 使用量增长150倍。
- 转向开源模型的趋势由编码代理、成本下降以及能力迅速追赶前沿实验室共同推动。

RT @ycombinator: Open models are closing the intelligence gap, says @ollama's @jmorgan. That opens up a new opportunity for founders: coordinating fast, cheap models to solve more complex problems. “We’re maybe less than three months behind between the frontier closed models and the open models. But the next problem to solve is extreme efficiency.” “They’re good enough for 80% of the tasks, they’re really fast and they’re ultra cheap.” “That class of models, in my mind, will be the first ones that come down to this idea of the unlimited tokens.” “Being able to coordinate these flash models together to do different tasks can also yield great results that a bigger model can.”
🦙 @ollama is used by 9 million developers and 85% of the Fortune 500, giving co-founder and CEO Jeffrey Morgan (@jmorgan) a unique view into which AI models people are actually using and how that’s changing. Right now, the biggest shift he sees is toward open models, driven by coding agents, falling costs, and capabilities that are rapidly catching up to the frontier labs. On Ollama Cloud, that shift has driven a 150x increase in token usage since the start of the year. In this episode of @LightconePod, Jeff joins @garrytan, @snowmaker, @sdianahu, and @harjtaggar to talk about the future of open models and the story behind Ollama, from two years of searching for the right idea to building one of the most widely used AI developer tools in the world. 00:43 — The Shift to Open Models 03:03 — How AI Agents Are Driving Token Usage 05:31 — Are Open Models Catching Up? 08:26 — What Happens When a New Model Launches 11:31 — Ollama as an Operating System for AI 14:05 — The New Opportunities Above the Model Layer 18:19 — Why 80–90% of Enterprise Tokens Could Be Open 20:57 — The Future Is Local and Cloud 26:40 — Why AI Is Coming Back to Your Computer 28:56 — The Coming Era of Unlimited Tokens 32:30 — Do We Still Need a “God Model”? 33:41 — Open Models and Geopolitics 36:14 — The Origins of Ollama 40:36 — Two Years Lost in the Wilderness 42:39 — The Pivot That Changed Everything 47:02 — How Ollama Found a Business Model 49:43 — Why Second-Time Founders Did YC
