I'm surprised the market didn't swing on DeepSeek R1 news. It's reportedly comparable in benchmark performance to OpenAI o1 but is much cheaper per token, and open-source to boot.

What is defined as open-source?
Depending on your viewpoint, models such as Llama could be considered closed-source or open-source because only the compiled code is available.

I can imagine it in the image generation space, since open models like Stable Diffusion have a level of customization that proprietary ones lack, and in this space it matters a lot. Even as Stability AI fumbles, there is a large amount of open-source efforts in this space picking up the slack.

I have a hard time seeing this happen to LLMs due to both the prohibitive cost of training them and the proprietary LLMs being "good enough" for consumer use cases.
