It's important to note that even if these open models are distilled, they are showing genuine improvements in their architecture, which enables inference costs to be several factors below what equivalent closed models have.

The interesting question is: will Anthropic release a Fable like model with an architecture similar to Kimi, and get the inference cost gains? They should surely beat Kimi because they can internally distill as much as they want.
