I think it's about convention and adoption - "first taste is free" to get as many ppl as possible accustomed (read: addicted) to using GenAI. Plus most majors are currently releasing open weight models.

...but i suspect few to none will continue releasing free and open models when they start cutting too deeply into token profits.

We'll likely see smaller open models, but few who have the resources to train large, frontier sized models will want to do so for free... maybe China, but they're also a dubious choice for many.

open weight models are released by the same companies who's revenue would be threatened by open weights - they won't continue to undercut themselves by releases free models once that happens.

because the tech industry is at a hole is out of creative ideas. That why ever seen so many hype cycles since the end of zirp - and why the only innovation we're seeing is on ways to squeeze more money out of people. and AI was sold as a salary cutting magical money machine... AKA one more hype to jump on.

except this one a isn't making anyone rich besides Nvidia
