alt Hacker News> Maybe another DeepSeek moment right here.
Surely not... What made DeepSeek disruptive was that the cost was 10X lower.
In this case, the cost is about 2X lower the Sol I think?
At 2X, you're pretty close to the error margins due to token efficiency etc...
I'd say this is "on trend" for open models catching up to frontier labs, but its not a "change in the trend" like DeepSeek was IMO.
DeepSeek didn’t really change any trends though, unless you count the stock market.
It was impressive work, but models were commoditizing and inference costs were dropping rapidly already. They were neither the first nor the last 10x optimization, from what I’ve seen.
