Claims that open-source AI is overtaking frontier models face criticism

A post argues that percentage-only traffic figures can make companies look bigger than they are, and questions routers' view of frontier-model usage.

TLDR

The author describes their company as strongly oriented toward open-source models but calls companies' data showing those models overtaking frontier offerings “complete nonsense.” They argue that most companies making these claims have little traffic and share percentages rather than raw counts to appear larger. They also say “no router has any real reason to see 99% of frontier traffic,” framing the claims as an effort to capture mindshare.

dax@thdxrthere's few company oriented around open-source models more than us but this thing where companies are posting "data" showing open-source overtaking frontier is complete nonsense 1. most see so little traffic they make sure they only share %s and never real numbers so they can seem bigger than they are 2. no router has any real reason to see 99% of frontier traffic they're all just trying to capture mindshare like they're on the cutting edge of something big happening20d
Nathan Lambert@natolambertI think @OpenRouter is more representative, but still under sells closed model growth.20d
