I agree that all these datacenter companies like Coreweave are investing billions in technology that has a very fast depreciation curve and I don't know how they will sustain income. The same goes for datacenters in space, what happens when those chips are obsolete? Will they sent astronauts to replace them or will they let them burn up and send new ones into orbit every year?

I feel that the open weight models pale in comparison to the frontier models, and I believe that if the gap closes quickly, that the open weight vendors will stop releasing it for free.
