The post argues that open-source AI is improving faster and getting cheaper faster than closed AI:
- Open source: performance rises 20% per month while cost falls 50%.
- Closed AI: performance rises 10% per month while cost rises 20%.
The conclusion is blunt: if those trends hold, the market outcome is easy to see.
