- riddlemethat 5mo agoOpen source models apply pressures on the low end of the market. The paid models are so much better that they can charge based on value for enterprises.
- rglullis 5mo agoHave you used any of the recent models? My experience with GLM 5.1 does not make me miss Opus at all.
- InsideOutSanta 5mo agoI wouldn't call Kimi K2.6, GLM5.1, DS4 or newer Qwen models "low end". I prefer GPT5.5, but if it disappeared tomorrow, I'd be perfectly fine with any of these chinese models.
- hypercube33 5mo agoI think for a while this is possible - the models definitely aren't as efficient as they can be as we've seen a lot of promising papers over the last year about how people are changing pieces and parts to do more with less. None of it has come to market yet that I'm aware of so for now it's just a hope I suppose but things like Opus definitely burn a ton of compute to be the leader in benchmarks but the gaps are closing.
