Open and closed models are on different exponentials
The future of AI models hinges on the economic viability of closed versus open ecosystems, particularly in high-value markets like coding agents. While open models offer broad integration, leading closed labs like Anthropic and OpenAI are positioned to maximize intelligence at a given cost, potentially leading to API businesses protecting their best models. This economic dynamic, coupled with ongoing compute buildout and token subsidization, suggests a continued premium for superior AI intelligence, driving innovation and market expansion. AI
