What does "actually open AI" look like?

This short documentary traces the inference layer of AI: the infrastructure that determines whether AI can run affordably & at scale. It follows the parallel evolution of two open-source projects, SGLang & vLLM, & asks whether open, accessible intelligence is truly achievable or still gated by who can afford to run it. We're asking whether open, accessible intelligence is truly achievable or whether it remains gated by who can afford to run it.

This is a Speakeasy production sponsored by Modal.
