The Free Weights

A frontier open-source base model goes live tonight, directly eliminating the headcount of 5 newly hired junior devs in your department. Straight track: those 5 desks. Do nothing and they get laid off on the spot. Curved track: the only physical server hosting the open weights—the very model you and the whole community freeload on. Pull and it's smashed; the 5 keep their jobs, but the entire industry pays closed-source monopolies sky-high rents per token forever. What do you do?
