Hard to make big predictions, but it sure looks like at least this level of capability is going to be available in the open and relatively cheap to run.
The 'floor' has gone up: today's model a bit behind SOTA is like model releases that were blowing people's minds a few months ago. Compared to, say, DS R1, this is far out stuff.
This, Luna, and (if it's good in practice) Laguna S are also fast and light not just cheap. And, as happened before, DeepSeek's first but other open model makers likely follow.
And a small, fast model taking small steps is...fun? More like working with code.
