    Why does an open weights model cost nearly the same as GPT5.6? $1.14 vs $1.23 on the cost index. Since you can't presumably run this on your own hardware given the model size and hence gain other things like privacy, I don't see any reason to move away from GPT at this rate.

      Running a large model on rented GPU is still meaningfully more private than handing your chat logs over to FAGA

        The acronym is new to me: Facebook, Anthropic, Google, openAi?
