i've been cynical on open source ai for the last 3 years, and it's not been a popular view. people want to hear that open source is catching up, that some underdog team found this One Weird Trick to outperform gpt5. Kimi K2.5 didnt even beat GPT 5.2 in the end. @DeepSeek_ai v4 next week is probably the moment I really change my stance for the first time. Hearing that the Chinese labs leak like a sieve (do you know which culture loves gossip more than Americans? that's right) and all the other Tigers duly lined up to have their 15 seconds this week. (almost) everything is out now, and the stage is set for Whalefall. Looking forward to it.
