"Good enough" open weights models were "almost there" since 2022.
I distrust the notion. The bar of "good enough" seems to be bolted to "like today's frontier models", and frontier model performance only ever goes up.

The generation of frontier models from H1 2025 is the good enough benchmark.
Flash forward one year and it'll be H1 2026.
I don’t see why. Today frontier models are already 2 generations ahead of good enough. For many users they did not offer substantial improvement, sometimes things got even worse. What is going to happen within 1 year that will make users desire something beyond already working solution? LLMs are reaching maturity faster than smartphones, which now are good enough to stay on the same model for at least 5-6 years.
