That is one sense, but it is also use to refer to the frontier of capability. Especially in this context.
replyThat's not what people are normally referring to when they say "frontier models". It means the most capable models full stop. Not the most capable that you can run locally.
replyI’ve always seen the frontier shown as a curve on a plot. Frontier ≠ SOTA
replyFrontier = SOTA.
replyPareto frontier ≠ frontier.
true but tfa's title says "frontier open models"
replyFrontier open models are Kimi K3, GLM 5.2, DeepSeek V4 Pro, etc. They're all too big to fit on most Macs.
reply> tfa's title says "frontier open models"
replyDoes it? I read: "Run AI models locally on your Mac."
The submission is "Nativ: Run frontier open models locally on your Mac" and on the page it says "Nativ puts frontier intelligence on your desk."
