    Why is Mozilla using their money to build a free product, in partnership with a company that appears to have enough money for itself?

    DeepSet raised $44 million in venture capital funding. It should be able to fund the project themselves, like how Google funds Firefox.

    Meanwhile, Mozilla has promised $65 million total, for numerous AI projects and AI advocacy… stuff… and that funding has probably already spread pretty thin with dozens of beneficiaries.
