Let's just ignore the many practical advantages of open and self-hosted models...

Did I ignore them? I said that I love open models. If it came across like I'm putting down open models, then I'm genuinely sorry--I love open source ML, have been a involved in it for a long time, and think it's incredibly important. It's also just fun to work with open models, beyond the benefits to privacy and flexibility.

I'm just talking about the idea that frontier labs will lose market share to providers that sell open model inference at sub-Fable prices. And I'm not convinced that this specifically is a threat to frontier labs, because they also train and sell models that fit that demand.
