The supply chain for computing resources is extremely bottlenecked right now. Even with the high demand for open weight AI models the data centers hosting them aren't able to get the computing resources they need and they keep running into rate limits even for paid users. Z.ai's hosting quality has dropped which I suspect may be related. Even over the past few weeks this has gotten much worse with the release of Kimi K2.5 being competitive with closed US-based models and OpenCode becoming popular. Meanwhile we have corporations like OpenAI buying up half the world's RAM fucking both other people and other corporations. So I'm not sure where this is going to end up, but the computer hardware market is going to really suck for a while.
