teortaxesTex argues open-source models should stop chasing Claude's coding performance and focus on depth knowledge, math, engineering and philosophy. He says there won't be a Qwen 5 in six months but is intrigued by Qwen's Astra as a "mathematical philosopher" that can extract virtue ethics from a flash game and build Virtue Clicker 2.0 — hard to distill. Kimi and GLM's next updates will test whether this path is viable.
