> How will prices skyrocket when there is a flood of open models? Easy: once the money spigot runs out and/or a proprietary model has a quality/featureset that other open-weight models can't match, it's game over. The open-weight models cost probably dozens of millions of dollars to train, this is not sustainable. And that's just training cost - inference costs are also massively subsidized by the money spigot, so the price for end users will go up from that alone as well.
