Of course, but for how long? Do you think that companies will keep giving away valuable assets for free forever, or do you think that in the near future there's going to be an open weights model that's so good that people keep using it indefinitely instead of going back to frontier model providers?
The first one is just incredibly naive, the second might be true for some people, for some tasks, but it's not going to capture the majority who're chasing the latest and greatest to "keep up".
- Throaway199999 6mo agothe asset's value is in being released, so yes

- CamperBob2 6mo agodo you think that in the near future there's going to be an open weights model that's so good that people keep using it indefinitely instead of going back to frontier model providers? We are almost at that point now, where the harnesses and tools are more important drivers of functionality and performance than the model weights themselves. We'll get there.
