ClinePass, Best of Value for Open-Weight models

Since developers started building in the agentic coding space, the logic felt simple: pay a premium for top-tier tokens, get the best result. The model was the moat. The model was the product. That logic is quietly fading. Over the last few months, we have watched the gap between frontier and open-weight models close to the point where most strong models now sit comfortably above a common quality threshold. Most coding tasks don't need frontier-level intelligence, and treating them as if they
