Many people here are now realizing that open weight models are now able to compete against frontier closed models.

This is where we are heading and why many closed labs are terrified of this affecting their bottom line and the reason why they want them banned from being released.

Actually they don't even need to compete against frontier closed models, they just need to work.

99.99% people's day jobs aren't competing for the Fields Medal or even finding security vulnerabilities. So it appears while TAM (total addressable market) of AI in general is huge, TAM for frontier LLMs is tiny. Efficiency gains at roughly the same performance might be all people care about from now on.
