@WandererUber@poa.st but the open models are trained already, there's no more cost. i'm not talking about anthropic and openai and who ever trains. the open models are profitable right now. if the trainers go bankrupt, well, that's sad, but inference still stays profitable.

We had this discussion before and you are making an argument that I -already agree with -is only tangentially related to what I am saying here >People can just stay on GLM5.1 they can also hand-code. If SOTA devving costs money and you have to pay again if you want it under a second identity, that's a detriment. If GLM 5.1 is not profitable for the model trainer, there will not be GLM N.1 in future. Open Weights models *could* lag behind which would make SOTA be OAI / DarioCorp -dependent. I believe quite a few people would be deterred and/or chance it under their real account and catch a C&D from Nintendo for it
