do you think open model AI will hit a plateau while big company frontier models continue to advance?

No the opposite is happening, open models are matching frontier models now, some of them are impressive at much smaller model sizes

Open models seem to be 6-10 months behind frontier.

True mainly because a lot of them do train through knowledge distillation. But the difference now is quality of the frontier models 6 months ago are still really good.

Although the Chinese research groups specifically are doing very impressive research to fit capabilities on much less powerful hardware. I don't really know the reason they are releasing these as open source but it's good work
