Everyone uses it differently. Not sure what the intent is of these kinds of posts.

Some people are able to take advantage of the increased capabilities that frontier models give us. For others, working with open weight models (that are extremely good in their own right) is good enough.

Deepseek models are very impressive. No one's debating that.

But frontier models are definitively ahead. Perhaps not by much in some areas, but there are clear gaps.

And that is kind of the point I think. Open source models add a much needed source of competition to the world of LLMs and are very much an important counterweight to the dominance of Anthropic and OpenAI.
