As model development costs continue to rise, enterprises' commercial incentive to open-source top-tier models is significantly diminishing—making an 'Open Model Consortium' no longer just a concept but an inevitability. Meanwhile, advances such as the Neural Computers paradigm and Claude Code's browser integration are accelerating AI's evolution from a tool into a native computational foundation [1][2][6].
