Anthropic today, who next week? If locally run models ever get to the point where they can reliably solve... 85% of what the frontier cloud models can do, I think many would be willing to accept slightly less problem solving ability and just run the thing locally.

All hypothetical, but if compute + AI research continues at pace, in 5 years we should see extremely good local models.

Yes it's not clear to me that AI companies have a defensible moat against open models.
As a user of local models, it's well above 85% already. I use frontier models at work and local models for home use because my day to day tasks are well within what DeepSeek can handle.
