The open model ecosystem has professionalized significantly — model weights now ship with vLLM patches and partner integrations, unlike a year ago when the community had to figure everything out from scratch.
Florian notes that the ecosystem has matured: model releases now come with pre-built inference patches and partner support, dramatically shortening the time from release to usable deployment compared to the ad-hoc approach of a year ago. ✦ AI generated

The open ecosystem has professionalized quite a lot in the last few months. During your initial rollout, they all come with some partners which have the weights beforehand. They have the vLLM patches out days or even weeks before these days, which is completely different from a year ago where basically weights got dropped and the model makers were like all right, you got to figure this out. So I expect general availability on day one will be pretty okay.
