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](https://parsers.vc/startup/deepset.ai/) in venture capital funding. It should be able to fund the project themselves, like how Google funds Firefox. Meanwhile, **Mozilla** has promised [$65 million](https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mozillas-biggest-ai-moments/) total, for numerous AI projects and AI advocacy... stuff... and that funding has probably already spread pretty thin with [_dozens_ of beneficiaries](https://mozilla.vc/portfolio/).
