Open-source AI models are getting closer to private models
🤖 Open-source AI models are getting closer and closer to private models.
With the launch of Kimi K2.5, the pattern is pretty clear: they’re about 3 months behind.
The last time this happened was in August ’24. Yeah, August ’24… time flies. And then OpenAI pulled an ace out of its sleeve and widened the gap again.
⚡️ Reasoning models.
Now the ball’s in the private models’ court.
They either keep iterating on the same thing until open source eats their lunch. Or they come up with **another new move** to open the gap back up.
Either way, the result is the same.
We, the users, win.
What a great time to be a programmer.
