I expect this gap will be filled by cheaper models like GLM as they catch up to frontier models in their capabilities.

I believe they will catch up in no time.
But not every one will be able to pay anything for them.
I'm not paying because it is a hobby project (a huge one) and it is totally free with optional donations. That's not much ROI.

Still a problem with GLMs etc in that very, very few of us have the rigs capable of running it at true frontier equivalence.

Gate keeping AI is here - now. I don't expect China et al to be the bastion of future alternatives. Qwen is already on record of going closed source. Subscriptions and API costs will go up.

It's gonna be a mess. Plan accordingly.
