As the share of production-environment token processing shifts to open-weight models, open source AI is establishing itself as a substantial mainstream force.
Details
Currently, the real work of the AI ecosystem is largely centered around Open weights models. According to OpenRouter data, the top 5 models by token throughput are all open models.
Of course, Frontier models competing for cutting-edge performance are still led by closed (Closed) models. However, the performance required by most real-world workloads already exceeds the level of frontier models.
