5 patterns in Text Arena's price–performance Pareto frontier since 2023:

1. GPT-4-level quality is now ~500x lower cost.
- From a ~$50 blended price per million tokens in 2023 to ~$0.10 today.

2. The higher-price end is both better and lower-priced since 2023.
- The leading Arena score has climbed ~170 points (1,330 → 1,500). While the price of the higher-end frontier models dropped from ~$50 to ~$20 per million tokens.

3. The low-cost end gained the most.
- Under $0.20 per million tokens, the best available model went from ~1,000 Arena score in 2023 to ~1,440 today.

4. The low-cost/top performance gap has nearly closed.
- In 2023, sub-$0.20 models trailed the leader by ~350 Arena points. Today, ~60. 5. The cast has rotated quite a bit. -

- @OpenAI set the 2023–24 benchmark.
- @AIatMeta strengthened the low-cost end in 2024.
- @GoogleDeepMind drove the 2025 jump.
- @AnthropicAI holds the peak in 2026.
- @xAI and Chinese labs like @DeepSeekAI, @Zai_org, @Kimi_Moonshot, @XiaomiMiMo, and @Alibaba_Qwen are continuing to push the mid-price frontier.

A guy named nbatman on Reddit accidentally built the most useful website on the internet.

It's called FMHY (Free Media Heck Yeah).

This is the website Google delisted from search for DMCA violations, Reddit shadow-banned for promoting piracy, the Motion Picture Association flagged as a top piracy threat, and the RIAA pressured hosting providers to drop. It is still online. It is still updated every month.

Here's how it works.

FMHY is the index. The wiki itself hosts nothing. It just tells you where every free thing on the internet actually lives, organized into 14 categories with safety ratings on every single link.

→ Movies and shows in 4K from 50+ streaming sites
→ Music at Spotify and Apple Music quality
→ Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, JetBrains
→ Every paid course on every major learning platform
→ 100 million books and papers through Anna's Archive
→ Free alternatives to every paid AI tool
→ A SafeGuard browser extension that flags unsafe sites in real time

It started as a single Google Doc maintained by one Reddit moderator in 2018. Google killed it with a DMCA takedown in 2023.

The community rebuilt the wiki on its own domain, mirrored it to GitHub and IPFS, and now runs it across 12 backup domains simultaneously.

There is no company. No CEO. No central server. Six anonymous volunteers maintain the entire thing in their spare time. Donations through Ko-fi pay for the hosting. Nobody profits.

Hollywood can't shut this down. Spotify can't shut this down. Adobe can't shut this down.

The entire subscription economy is held together by you not knowing this wiki exists.

SpaceX is such a bad ass company. In their IPO filing, they wrote this:

• The first private company to develop and launch a liquid-fuel rocket to reach orbit (2008)

• The first private company to successfully dock a private spacecraft with the International Space Station (2012)

• The first to successfully propulsively land (2015) and refly orbital-class rocket boosters (2017)

• The first to begin deploying a large-scale LEO broadband satellite constellation (2019);

• The first private company to transport astronauts to orbit, returning America's ability to fly astronauts to and from the International Space Station (2020)

• The first to manufacture consumer-grade phased-array user terminals at scale (2022);
The first to deploy a large-scale LEO satellite-to-mobile constellation (2025)

• The first to build a gigawatt-scale Al training cluster and largest coherent supercomputer (2026)

• The first gigawatt-scale Megapack battery installation (2026); and

• The only company capable of building orbital AI compute at scale.

BOOM.

The largest open library in human history, Anna's Archive, has been ordered to pay Spotify and the three largest record labels on the world $322 million.

The defendant has not appeared in court and is not going to. The site is still up with two backup domains standing by and there's nothing the censors can do.

Anna's Archive currently holds 63 million books, 95 million academic papers, and 1.1 petabytes of mirrored torrents. It is free. It is searchable. It is run by a pseudonymous person nobody has identified after four long years of searching.

In the four months since the music industry filed the first of three coordinated lawsuits, the library has lost six domain names and added two million books to the catalogue. The cartel is suing it faster every month, and it is growing faster every month.

In December, Spotify and the major labels filed. In January, OCLC, the company that runs WorldCat, won a default judgment of its own. On March 6th, thirteen of the largest book publishers in the United States, including HarperCollins, Penguin Random House, Simon and Schuster, Macmillan, Hachette, Elsevier, Wiley, and McGraw Hill, filed a third lawsuit in the same federal court.

The publishers' complaint runs to seventy-four pages. They call Anna's Archive a "brazen pirate operation." They call it "an illegal supplier of stolen content to the AI industry."

The same publishers are simultaneously suing Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, and NVIDIA for training their models on the same corpus the publishers want Anna to destroy. The cartel argues, in two parallel federal courts, that the corpus cannot be used by anyone. Not the pirate who built it. Not the AI company that downloaded from it. Not the graduate student who pulls a paywalled paper from it at two in the morning.

Anna did not respond to any of the three complaints. Anna has never responded to any complaint. Anna is a name on a blog and a public key on a server and a person, or maybe several people, in a jurisdiction nobody has identified after four years of searching.

The judgment is uncollectable. The permanent injunction binds Cloudflare, Public Interest Registry, Njalla, the Switch Foundation, Tucows, and nine other named intermediaries. The Greenland registry is not on the list. The Greenland registry has not complied.

The site currently lives at .gl, with .pk and .gd standing by. The corpus has always moved faster than the censor. The censor has always called the corpus piracy. The corpus has always survived the censor by becoming the readers themselves.

The publishers' lawsuit cannot reach the torrents. The torrents are already seeded across continents and IPFS nodes and personal NAS drives owned by people the publishers will never find. The default judgment is paper. The corpus is everywhere.

The cartel will win every lawsuit but they will lose the war. The publisher who walks into court next month with a fresh filing will be filing against a defendant who has, in the time since the last filing was sealed, mirrored another half million books to another seven hundred volunteers in another forty countries.

There is no defendant to find. There is only the next upload. It is already seeding.
