Open models are no longer losing at the top of the funnel on benchmark-performance; they are losing at the last mile.
79% of developers use them, but only 51% reach production vs 63% for closed models, vendor-backed deployments reach production at 67% versus 33% for internal builds, and the closed-open production gap actually widens from 1 point in small firms to 16 points in enterprises.
People are dropping them because they're harder to run reliably.
