Did Arena Favor Closed Models Over Open Ones?

Anastasios Angelopoulos says Arena has always been fair to everybody. A coalition of MIT and Stanford looked like a reputable source. Digging into the analyses about Arena at the time showed the claim that the company was favoring closed source models over open source models.

The complaint came from Cohere, and Cohere was about number 70 at the time. People can say what they want about the incentives. It felt like a stab in the back from people who could have been future colleagues if he ever decided to go to Stanford.

It was another difficult experience on top of the personal challenges at the time. It was very hard for him and his wife, and it happened a few months before their wedding. They thought the wedding was going to be a sad time and that they were not going to have a good day. She rallied for the day, and they both had an awesome time. A wedding is something you only get once.
