Will we get accessible open-source models again?

Past April of 2026, all open-source LLMs have been in the 0.5T+ terrirory: MiniMax M3, Kimi-2.7-Code - now Kimi-3 (2.8T), GLM-5.2, Inkling by ThinkingMachines is also a 1T model and perhaps some more models I forget now.

If chinese labs find it more profitable (I would not accuse them since it takes hundreds of millions to train such models and satisfying a niche of less than 1 million people with sub-100B models would not be a priority) to target US frontier models in benchmarks and have low API prices (compared to US frontier models), will they ever bother to release 20B-120B models in the future? Because if the minimum requirements are 4 B300s or 8 PRO 6000s, then no individual will be able to use open-source models.
