In one quarter, open-weight models went from about 30% to a record 78% of the tokens on Vercel's AI Gateway.
That's just the one gateway, on a record day, and of course these tokens aren't 1:1 revenue. But the direction of travel is hard to miss. When you can just download the model, the margins move to the infra and inference layer.
A token starts to cost what it costs to serve, and the value moves to whoever runs the model best: fastest, cheapest, at the quality the job needs.
For Europe, this changes the equation. As long as the best AI was a closed API, "European AI" meant renting capability from a few US frontier labs, served from their infrastructure.
Open weights change that. The models doing most of the work (the "Work Horse") can now run on hardware Europe controls, under European rules. That doesn't directly make Europe competitive on its own. Where the models come from still matters, and unfortunately Europe has very little compute to run them on (more on that at a later time). But the question has moved from "who builds the model" to "who runs it best."
Looks like today may be a record day for token volume % of open models on Vercel AI Gateway:
🟦 Open 78.4% 🟨 Closed 21.6%
While spend 💲 usually tells a different story, #3 and #4 today are Moonshot AI & DeepSeek. Adding Z.ai, their combined spend surpasses OpenAI (#2).
(Do note that's the spend for inference of the model across providers (mostly in the US), not revenue going directly to the open weight labs.)

How good are agents actually at CAD?
Today we release CADBench, evaluating 10 Models on 105 realistic tasks in Fusion 360
Fable 5 and Gemini 3.7 Flash are #1 with only 24.6% pass rate

there are so many levers to reduce the cost of your agents.
if you look at the traces what your agent is doing, you will see that most tokens are spend to look up information.
we have 2 choices either give the models a better tool or delegate this task to a cheaper model. but unfortunately most cheap models are very bad at finding the right information.
we already showed that mixedbread is the better tool to find evidence faster and save tokens, but still your agent had to read a lot of documents.
now we are closing the gap and releasing a smart model which can be used to delegate by your main agent.
save tokens, while still using frontier. this is a way bigger lever then model routers.
Introducing Toast 1, our first specialised search agent.
Toast 1 sets a new Pareto frontier for agentic search models.
Frontier search quality, across all domains, 12x faster, at 1/10th of the price.

“AC this, wash dryer that, US woohoo, EU boohoo” - Why are we eating this brand-warfare from the outside about us up?
Europe has the strongest precision manufacturing in the world, we have leading teams in AI, CV, robotics. Europe is a leader in Automation and Frontier Tech!
Not a single NVIDIA chip could be produced without European machines. Not a single American cloud, robotics, or deep-tech firm would operate without European manufacturing or suppliers.
But we are too humble. Brainwashed to never celebrate Europe. By outsiders and our local politicians.
Time for a change.
Europe is the birthplace of industrialization.
The home of frontier tech.
Time, we act like it.
Welcome to the real Europe! 🔥🇪🇺

And one day Abu Dhabi 🇦🇪
Just heard from another friend who's moving back to SF from Miami. Every time I hear of someone moving back to a major city I think of Jerry Seinfeld's ode to NYC:
"You found a place in Florida? Fine. We know the sharp focus and restless, resilient creative spirit that Florida is all about. You think Rome is going away too? London? Tokyo? The East Village?
They’re not. They change. They mutate. They re-form. Because greatness is rare. And the true greatness that is New York City is beyond rare."

We've been cooking up something interesting @fiberplane that enables developers to get zero-to-one observability 📊🔥. Autometrics is a @rustlang macro that writes @prometheus queries for you and instruments your code:
github.com/fiberplane/autome…
Just open-sourced a @rustlang macro that makes it easy to track metrics for any function.
The fun parts:
- writes Prometheus queries for you
- inserts links to graphs of your production metrics into each function's doc comments
Feedback welcome!
