It’s not that bad: K2 and DeepSeek R1 are at the level of frontier models of one year ago (K2 may be even better: I have enough experience only with V3/R1). We will see more coming since LLMs are incredibly costly to train but very simple in their essence (it’s like if their fundamental mechanic is built in the physical nature of the computation itself) so the barrier to entry is large but not insurmountable.
