The market fundamentally misunderstands the role and functionality of open-weights models (MS).
Historically, open-weights models tend to be smaller (in number of total parameters), faster, and more cost-efficient; as such, the wider audience came to expect these models to be of "lower quality" or "light" versions of the higher-parameter frontier models (known as closed-weight models).
The difference between open-weights (or open-weight) models and closed weight models has nothing to do with the number of active parameters, overall cost, or efficiency. The distinction between the two relates to how users pay and/or interact with the models: open-source models are 1) free to access, as opposed to gated by subscriptions, 2) able to be trained and tuned (weights are "open" or able to be changed), as opposed to be the same for every user (weights are "closed"), and 3) give ultimate deployment flexibility, as it can be run on-prem, in the cloud, or through an API (either model creator's API, hosted service like AWS Bedrock, or self-hosted API; outlined in Exhibit 2).
Closed-weight models, alternately, can either be accessed directly from a model provider (the user pays a licensing fee, like a subscription, for access, and a token cost that serves as a proxy for GPU usage) or through a cloud provider should PII be a concern.

Gross national revenue topped $14B last year in the NFL, or more than $450M per team from media and other league-wide deals. It’s more than the combined total for NBA, MLB & NHL clubs from central revenue.
