> If companies are willing to pay top dollar for the best models

But they are not willing to pay. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49566137

The referenced NYT article says Open Source LLM's market share increased to 58% from yesteryear's 10%.

(58% on OpenRouter)

I believe both things can be true. OAI/Anthropic selling more tokens than ever, and downloadable weight models increasing in market share.

I doubt OpenAI would copy Fables pricing if it wasn’t financially beneficial. They can only burn through VC funding for so long.
