The Open-source Race is the ongoing process where labs like Meta AI, Mistral AI, DeepSeek, Alibaba, and others rapidly close the capability gap with closed frontier models by publishing weights and technical reports. The flagship releases include Llama 3, Llama 4, Mistral, Mixtral, DeepSeek V3, DeepSeek R1, and Qwen 3. With GPT-OSS, OpenAI effectively joined the race, signaling that the movement is no longer niche. The practical effect is that developers can now run Open Source LLM-based solutions that are economically competitive with cloud APIs.
