Do you guys all think you'll be able to convert open source models to diffusion models relatively cheaply ala the d1 // LLaDA series of papers? If so, that seems like an extremely powerful story where you get to retool the much, much larger capex of open models into high performance diffusion models.
(I can also see a world where it just doesn't make sense to share most of the layers/infra and you diverge, but curious how you all see the approach.)
