OK, now what? Someone offers open models as a service? That's basically a time-sharing computing business - people at terminals sharing remote computing resources. If you buy your own H100 it will be idle while you're typing or reading or thinking. So sharing makes sense.

But it doesn't have to be an "AI company". It's just a compute service. The companies that offer web hosting could get into this.

They already do. DigitalOcean is one of the providers on OpenRouter, for example

There are lots of companies providing open models as a service. DeepInfra and Fireworks AI for example. Even Amazon for that matter.
