This is quite stunning. OpenAI valuations are quoted as $3B. Stability AI just popped up6 months ago and is able to raise rounds in very tough economy at $1B valuation. The real differentiator between two is that Stability AI has took upon itself to o democratize AI ignoring all social wokness and thereby multiplying their efforts many manifold through community labor. OpenAI meanwhile is still deeply caught up in all kind of social/ethical/philosophical delima as well as Apple-isc secrecy as devotional offerings to Steve Jobs.

With this level of funding and community following, Stability AI is en route to dethrone OpenAI in almost no time.
