The open-model stack: every layer from GPU clouds to hosted fine-tuning sells 'less to worry about'

Open models are free to download but sit far from production-ready: GPU clouds rent machines; Modal and RunPod handle containers and autoscaling; Together AI and Deepinfra wrap models into APIs; Tinker adds hosted fine-tuning on top.
The insight: every layer of this stack sells the same thing — 'one less thing to worry about' — which is exactly where the fastest-growing AI businesses live.
