Deciding to use open models over closed models is a business decision.

Using the cheaper model is also a business decision. We don't know why they are using the Chinese models: openness or money or both or a third one?

The point is that for many tasks today, and likely all tasks before long, that the open vs closed will not be a differentiator. There are many open models much better than gemini, yet people still use gemini.

It's like picking AWS vs GCP. Yes it is a business decision, but one that will not likely affect the outcome of the business.

    We don't know that, that's the point of my statement about changing the question.

    Do successful companies opt for the US/Closed models? If they do or don't it's just a correlation but it means something. Maybe it's just causal of companies being able to get more funding because the ideas are better so they opt for the more expensive model (assuming it's better).

    • we know that

      1. Different people using Ai have different outcomes

      2. There is much more to agents than the model

      3. Companies are not successful because of the code, look at how many shitty products we endure

      Can you explain the basis for your insistence that models matter?

      Can you name another technology that determines success/failure rates?
