Ejaaz(@cryptopunk7213):CEO of AI consulting firm working with fortune 500 companies: “no one gives a f*ck anymore about using these models directly. it’s all about privacy and cost.“ this is no longer a trend belonging to niche fringe open source devs - 100s of enterprises have shifted their AI workloads to open source models (hosted privately or through inference providers) for 99% of work they do not care if it’s claude or gpt.

Looks like today may be a record day for token volume % of open models on Vercel AI Gateway: 🟦 Open 78.4% 🟨 Closed 21.6% While spend 💲 usually tells a different story, #3# and #4# today are Moonshot AI & DeepSeek. Adding Z⁠.ai, their combined spend surpasses OpenAI (#2#). (Do note that's the spend for inference of the model across providers (mostly in the US), not revenue going directly to the open weight labs.)
