@natolambert the variety in strengths is what makes the open stack so interesting right now no single model dominates which means builders can actually choose the right tool
8:34 AM · Jul 16, 2026@natolambert and this is why a few closed labs can't outrun the whole industry, open science builds on itself and compounds over time
8:30 AM · Jul 16, 2026@natolambert it wont matter much if USGov regulates the availability of these models...cant run these on my RTX 3090s rig
8:42 AM · Jul 16, 2026K3, GLM 5.2, Inkling, DSv4 Flash... is great to see the open ecosystem is a group of superb options, all with different strengths and weaknesses. Feels the most relevant open models have been since DeepSeek R1, a lot of opportunity to build the open stack.

K3 seems like the big, multimodal planning model for hard tasks. GLM 5.2 is the faster, agentic model. Inkling is for everything else multimodal, hopefully more finetunable too. DSv4 flash is a cheaper workhorse of a model. The list continues.
