Whichever firm is distilling the frontier models and releasing the weights is doing god's work. I'll forever thank them for that.

They're great but in fact it is state financed economic war against the democratic world.
That could easily change if the frontier labs would release their (N-1)th model or (N-2)th model as open weights. Unfortunately, they won't.
The democratic world that wants to price me out of computers? Lock me out with remote attestation? Put me in a permanent underclass where I'm forced to rent computers and inference from the owner class instead of operating my own systems? A world so democratic it's degenerating into technofeudalism? Where you'll own nothing and you'll be happy?
China's not looking too bad.
Chinese Big Tech aim to do that and worse, also in bed with their political class. They only do open source because their hand was forced.
Today big pockets and big datacenters are the differentiatior and it looks like even DeepSeek can't keep up.
The only chance if enough people and small companies join forces into a Rebellion of sorts. But I don't see this happening... yet.
