And it seems they've decided to go closed-source for their largest, best models.

  3.5-plus was also only available via api. I don’t know what the long term business model for open weights is, I hope there is one, but it seems foolish to assume that companies will be willing to spend millions of dollars of compute on an asset worth zero in perpetuity.

    The business case is to salt the earth for new competitors, coupled with marketing.

  They've always had closed-source variants: - Qwen3.5-Plus - Qwen3-Max - Qwen2.5-Max etc. Nothing really changed so far.

  They always did that. Did they say anywhere they'd open all their models? They still have a business.
