what a wild time to be alive man. open source isn't just moving fast anymore, it's flying. four months ago my timeline was full of people saying "if we ever get an open model at opus 4.7 level, it's so over."
that was the dream. the ceiling everyone wanted. i just watched that exact model land on hugging face today. free. the dream took four months.
and the guy who built it, the glm creator, is in a thread with elon right now saying the gap to fable 5, the actual frontier, closes even sooner than q1 2027. the people building these things think the whole frontier goes open inside a year.
are you seeing what's happening? the distance between "the best model on earth" and "a model you own a copy of, free, on your desk" is collapsing in real time. i don't think most people have clocked how fast.
