Open-Weight & Local Models

OpenAI used its own frontier model to rewrite the GPU kernels that funded an 80% price cut, and the math on that cut doesn't fully add up.

Moonshot AI's open-weight model runs at a third to a sixth of Claude's token cost, but the "cheap tokens" pitch skips the part where you pay for it in review time.

Black Forest Labs' new model generates video, images, and synced audio from one backbone, and the same physics understanding is already steering robot arms on Audi's production line.
