In case anyone missed it, Deepseek just released models that make OpenAI's best nearly irrelevent... in the open, for anyone to host. For a tiny fraction of the hosting cost.

Even the small distillation that fits on a 24GB VRAM desktop is incredible. And you can host it for others to use for free, with room for batching, like I'm doing right now. And there is so much that's awesome about it, like the SFT training pipeline/code being published and the smaller models being built on top of models from another company (Qwen 2.5).

I don't even care what he's saying now, but don't believe a word that comes out of Altman's mouth. He's a just as much of a greedy con man as Musk, trying to gaslight everyone into thinking OpenAI will be relevant in a year, not a hollow, closed shell that sold out its research directive for cheap short term profit.
