Hmmm, a company that hosts open models is telling us how good open models are...

They share their methodology and results. I learned things about the relative strengths and weaknesses of Kimi and Fable I hadn’t seen anywhere else. Should being in the model hosting business disqualify them from sharing?

Doesn't disqualify them, but it may call into question their results seeing as they have a potential conflict of interest.

People are allowed to say, "hey we make money off of this thing, it's cheaper and almost as good as the thing we can't money off".

Other people are allowed to call them on that.

The don't only host open weight models. Also, why not promote this. If Fireworks thinks this big news might convert some new business doesn't make it not true.

I'd be doing the same thing if I were them as a marketing move

and in fact, it would be detrimental to business, if they wrongly promote Kimi, as they would pretty soon lose trust with their users

Anybody who's tried it knows that what they're saying is true though.
