This is a silly take. There is a line of "good enough" for most coding (most CRUD apps and APIs are nothing special), and once we are past that, nobody will care about having the "newest, best" model except extreme outliers. And this base "good enough" model will become an ultra cheap commodity as we already see with GLM, deepseek, etc.

As long as closed models are 6 months ahead I won't be switching from them to prev. 6 month SOTA open source models. Maybe its just a different calculation if you're in a job, but as an indiehacker I'll take any edge I can get

Ofc again, can be convinced to switch if there's however a clear speed difference, like 5x+ for a open source sota even if it was SOTA for 6 months ago
