I was dev, and now I am Senior level manager. Open Weight models are current main focus for many companies with full alignment with top management for very simple reasons: - stable and predictable performance (no pre-launch models degradation) - ability to tune them for specific business cases (though still rare tbh) - better (at least 60% Opus vs Kimi (real,3rd party)) and more competitive pricing - flat pricing if tokenusage is big enough to justify renting GPU - decent quality - much higher guarantees that data will not be sent somewhere (assuming 3rd party inference providers) - and cherry on top: flat and minimal pricing with absolute confidentiality using Alibaba Apsara stack of recently released AMD Instinct Coder box[1]
