Open models will likely fill a long-tail ecosystem focused on efficiency and specialization rather than competing with closed models on the most valuable areas

I put this mentally as my most likely outcome – open models are still incredibly useful, but fill a long-tail ecosystem relative to the closed counterparts that have monopoly ownership stakes in the most valuable areas like knowledge work collaboration, drug discovery, SWE, etc.
