    That's to be expected since all the proprietary models were just released. Give it six months and the Chinese labs will distill from the proprietary models like they did last time.

      Yes, but then at that point the newest proprietary models will dominate the price-performance frontier.

    Even as the article points out, this fluctuates constantly. In a few months, we're guaranteed to get a new batch of open models, and the balance will shift again.

    What's more important is that open models can be inspected, they can be customized, and you don't have to worry that a company will decide that you're not allowed to use them for stuff like reverse engineering things or do security work.

    That's why open models, and especially ones you can run locally will always be important. When you're renting closed models, you're basically a serf who has no say in how the model can be used.
