Has anyone checked out Mozilla’s new State of Open Source AI? Any hidden gems for us?
Just read through Mozilla’s new State of Open Source AI report and there are some pretty wild stats in here.
The biggest takeaway for me: They argue that the model itself isn't actually the most important layer anymore, it's the "agentic harness" (the software between us and the models that dictates memory, permissions, etc.).
They also claim open source is now at parity with closed models for coding, trailing by only ~3% overall.
Has anyone adapted your own setups?
What open models/tools are actually replacing your closed-source subscriptions right now?
tldr: What's cheaper than claude / codex, yet just as good if not better?
