Qualitatively, there is now a larger gap between open & closed models than there has been in awhile. Fable/Astra class models are agentic in a way pre-Fable models are not, for better or worse. None of the open models have crossed that line, yet. When they do, it will be a jump.

Overnight I trained a Jev-like model to output probability distributions over a set of 40 emoji, which runs in RAM at ~150ms per query. This was super easy and cost ~$10. It works pretty well on a weak training set, and with a day or two of work I could make this sing.
