It costs 20x more than the Chinese models I use. I just don’t need them anymore. Sure I’d use them if forced to for a job, but I don’t pay them outside of that anymore.
And my job won’t even pay for Claude now because it’s so ruinously expensive.
Say that to Luna's face. Ya all bringing up this not-so-cheap-nowadays chinese models and not that more intelligent than luna and bringing "cost" as the only factor.
Why would you use a cloud model that's no better than a local one though? Because if you pick Luna then you don't have to compare it to the big Chinese models, Qwen3.8-27B is what you want to compare it to, and the comparison doesn't make Luna look good.
