Genuine question: can these posts be paid to hype the open source models? If yes, what would be the purpose?

On my work tasks, FastAPI Python and Springboot Java on a modern SaaS product, the only open model that can do tasks well and efficiently is Qwen3.7-Max.

In all my experiments, both GLM-5.2 and Kimi are busy grepping around the codebase for ALMOST 70-80K tokens before writing anything and when they do it typically breaks the code… it feels to me that these models are good but only when you write out a super detailed spec of the task just like it was done a year ago… Qwen3.7 just… does it

It's (good) content marketing. They sell access to Kimi K3. They're one of the biggest model inference providers out there.

Fireworks is an inference provider that specializes in running open source models very fast and makes almost all of their margin on chinese models

So the economic incentive is literally their entire business model lol

Qwen3.7-Max is a proprietary, closed weight model.

Lots of money in tech influencing - but most is from the big players (OpenAI buying tbpn, early access to select influencers etc).

Have you tested Qwen3.8-Max yet?
