Hard disagree. I own my gb200 cluster and have unlimited supply of open weight tokens. Whatever is missing from the open weights, they can make it up from speed and multi agent swarm.
Yeah: quantity is a quality all of its own. DS v4.1 Flash running at ~300tk/s makes its verbosity less of a downside, and the efficiencies the Chinese open model space has aimed for makes high concurrency easy for swarms/sub agent sets.
On the other side, I am still shocked at how good Qwen 3.8 Flash Next is on my GB10 Spark-like, even if it is only 45 tk/s decode!
