Harrison & Eugene (Picocreator) from the RWKV community (+ a few others), is teaming up to build the cloud and enterprise serverless platform for RWKV.
Supports OpenAI compatible inference endpoints
Finetuning of RWKV models
Fully automated distillation, and offloading of existing OpenAI workloads
Lower your existing OpenAI cost, without performance compromise
More stuff in the wraps
TLDR: Everything you love about the OpenAI/Claude, RWKV edition, and more
We have raised our seed round, with a large percentage of it set aside specifically to support the RWKV open source model training and development process (~500k for this alone).
What does this mean for the OpenSource RWKV community and group?
Mostly positives, more resources will be raised and allocated for the RWKV project.
There is no license changes to the open source model and code. It will remain apache2. Locked safely within the Linux Foundation
On a more immediate basis,
more GPUs for running RWKV-X experiments, and dev work
salaries for open source dev hires, fully focused on just building on RWKV
funding to support RWKV auxiliary activities (from events, to paying for gmail)
Additionally, like other linux foundation projects, we expect over time, that more companies will commercialize RWKV. And work together on the common open source offerings. With the core RWKV project remaining neutral under the linux foundation.
In addition, the vast majority of Recursal AI models and dataset work (besides customer specific fine tunes, etc), will remain in the Opensource Apache 2 license.
Recursal AI goal, is to be the cloud provider of choice for RWKV users.
Meaning we have to make sure its cheaper, and more efficient to use us, then to DIY inference on your own with a cloud provider. As such, ensuring RWKV stays open source is aligned with us. As the growth of the open source models, also means the increase in usage of our platform from commercial / enterprise customers.
A win-win structure that has worked for other opensource software
Major examples of this OSS and Commercial split in practice
Many open source database, with multiple providers
Selenium browser automation project
RISC-V
