You should ask yourself how much it cost to train those open weight models, who foods the bills, for how much longer, and what's the catch.
HN has traditionally been very mindful of free products such as from Google and FB, yet seem to ignore those concerns when it comes to open weight LLM models, including FB's Muse Glimmer.
google.com and fb are continuous services with perpetual running costs whereas an openweight llm is a file to be dowloaded once and then no further cost to the provider

What about training cost? what if there need to be updates for whatever reason, say a loophole in the training data that can be exploited?
Who food the bills and what are their motivation? You never ask yourself that?
Are you using audio to text? It is the second time you use food in foot the bill.
