Together AI(@togethercompute):Great talk from Yogish Baliga "From Vim (:wq) to 'You're absolutely right!'" tracing 20+ years of software engineering evolution. Highlights: 1/ open-weight models have closed the gap with closed models for most use cases 2/ open models often pass closed model quality with multiple passes 3/ agentic workloads are already running mostly on open models (30%→78% in 13 weeks on Vercel's AI Gateway) Software engineering has come a long way over the last 20+ years and the future looks like it’ll be built on open models.
