Open weights don't mean open infrastructure.
Run open models on hyperscaler GPUs and you're just swapping one lock-in for another.
It's the same vendor pricing, availability limits, and cost to leave.
The same 70B workload. Four GPUs. Twenty hours a day:
AWS on-demand: around $9,600 a month.
http://io.net: $3,576 a month.
Open models and open compute is what http://io.net was built for.
