They don’t have to host it themselves. They could use a number of providers for the same model, and basically keep doing whatever they were doing with OpenAI/Anthropic via the exact same APIs.
Of course but they would have to pay for accessing it and the company with more efficient model will offer it at lower prices and most likely win customers. Having open weights doesn’t change anything here.

Of course it does. It prevents oligopolies.
I guess it could help limit the price gauging by the few companies that will have the best models but so would the ability to hire junior devs.
