“Closed models dominate, with on average 80% of monthly LLM tokens using closed models despite much higher prices - on average 6x the price of open models - and only modest performance advantages. Frontier open models typically reach performance parity with frontier closed models within months, suggesting relatively fast convergence. Nevertheless, users continue to select closed models even when open alternatives are cheaper and offer superior performance. This systematic underutilization is economically significant: reallocating demand from observably dominated closed models to superior open models would reduce average prices by over 70% and, when extrapolated to the total market, generate an estimated $24.8 billion in additional consumer savings across 2025.”
This is another sign that the AI bubble almost certainly has to pop. But there’s an interesting implication here. Will open-source AI inherit the future?
Linux, Android, MySQL, Git, WordPress - are just a few of the open-source software solutions that dominate modern software & the internet. Will the bedrock of 2030s AI be open-source?
“Run ChatGPT - Free AND Faster”
That’s what the post title should be. And it should give users a one-click cross-platform setup to do it including iOS and Android. And the result should actually be comparable.
Like, I am not fucking with you. If OP really believes in what they’re posting, this is the messaging required here and everywhere else to make good on the goal.
End users care about cost, convenience, and quality. Deliver all three, and wrap your messaging around it.
If actually delivering this is not possible, then there’s your answer to why end users pick remote third party paid solutions, and OP should delete this post.
Such a vicious post! You’re claiming that no one here might benefit from the knowledge of the article because there isn’t a one click solution.
