Open weights aren't catching up to closed models by copying them, but they're winning because of how the whole AI stack is quietly modularising
The article argues that open-weight AI models are catching up to closed ones not via distillation but due to the modularisation of the AI stack—stable interfaces (Transformer architecture, OpenAI-compatible APIs, agentic harnesses) allow innovations to diffuse rapidly across the ecosystem, shrinking the capability gap while keeping a massive price advantage, potentially leading to a commoditisation of frontier AI.
