Wire brief
According to public reporting via Interconnects, our first open model economy research note for paid rs.
In related context, nathan Lambert Nov 04, 2026 ∙ Paid 47 3 Share My longest running agent testbed has been building the Interconnects Dashboard — an aggregator of all of the best data on open model adoption and performance from across the web. This dashboard is freely available and becoming quite useful. Still, all the measurements we have on open model adoption are incredibly imprecise.
Reporting also notes that we have noisy platform metrics, marketing-related metrics from startups, and imperfect public evaluations. It takes an informed eye to figure out where things are going. These research notes are my current best approximations of where we stand. As with most things on Interconnects, our goal is to build well more value than we capture, so the data on the dashboard will remain free for the foreseeable future.
Points still worth watching: These notes will be more raw than many of my articles, a place for sharing what I’m mulling over but don’t have complete evidence for (yet). This Silicon News Wire item is a paraphrased brief; full wording remains on the origin page.
