   DeepSeek is underrated. Basically all Chinese models are good enough for day to day coding at this point.

   The 2 trillion dollar ROI on anthropic alone?

   Good luck with that.

      Good luck building something of value with "day to day coding". If you're going to compete in the future economy, you're going to compete at the frontier. The low hanging fruit will be of no value. If I can recreate your SaaS with an open weight model at a fraction of the cost, then your SaaS has no value.

         If I can recreate your "frontier" SaaS with day-to-day coding, it has no value. Or perhaps the few months' lead was never the deciding factor.
