What I don't get is, how are these free LLMs getting funded? Who is paying $20-100 million to create an open weights LLM? Long term why would they keep doing it?

I see what you're saying, but it doesn't matter that much in the long run. If everything stopped right now, the state-of-the-art open source models can still solve a lot of problems. They may never solve coding, per se, but they're good enough.
Billionaires trying to hurt each other. Facebook released LLaMa hoping to hasten OpenAI's bankruptcy.
But it's not open, and in fact AFAIK it's not possible to use commercially.
It's possible, just not legal if they find out and you're worth suing.
