Open AI models take half as long to catch up to closed models in each successive era, SemiAnalysis reports
↗
SemiAnalysis reports that across successive AI eras, early scaling, reasoning, and agentic, open models have taken half as long to catch up to the first closed model.
WHY IT MATTERS
The narrowing time gap suggests that the competitive advantage of keeping AI models closed is shrinking over time. Builders relying on closed models for cutting-edge capabilities may find open alternatives reaching parity much sooner in newer paradigms.
