I can't take anybody seriously when they keep declaring open models is beating frontier models. What they don't understand is that besides the huge capex to train and run inference, the real gold is in the human response to the prompt results, this is what all the Chinese companies are making their open models dirt cheap and distilling american frontier models via scraping.
The idea that we can out-parameterize frontier models is a common misconception, the true moat that Anthropic and OpenAI is why Chinese model providers are open sourcing and making it dirt cheap to keep pace through its "proxy chain operators"
