From Goldman's Delta-1 head, Rich Privorotski:
"A panel of Gemini 3 Flash, Kimi K2.6 and DeepSeek V4 Pro, fused together, beat solo GPT-5.5 and solo Opus 4.8 outright, while landing within 1% of Fable 5 at roughly half the cost.” (Openrouter -X ) If true, this is exactly the direction of travel the market has been underestimating. The race for intelligence increasingly feels as though it is shifting from a handful of labs toward model orchestration and open-source ecosystems. That is simultaneously bullish and bearish. Bullish because lower costs and broader access should ultimately drive more token consumption and more compute demand. Bearish because it accelerates token deflation and raises questions around the durability of model economics. The trillion dollar question remains whether lower intelligence costs ultimately create more demand than they destroy pricing power."

My favorite @elonmusk quote that I often send friends:
Do not fear losing. “You will lose,” Musk says. “It will hurt the first fifty times. When you get used to losing, you will play each game with less emotion.” You will be more fearless, take more risks.
