Open-weight Models Aren't Falling Behind—They're Leading on Efficiency

A common narrative claims open-weight models lag behind, but evidence suggests otherwise. Elon revealed Opus is 5T (though the author suspects under 3T), and Fable is twice that. Yet Kimi, at just 2.8T, matches Fable on several benchmarks despite being half the size. This efficiency translates to half the pricing, not as dumping but as a result of pure efficiency.
