>And the only claim for the existence of such products is that one day Anthropic or OpenAI will jack the prices up until the model is unaffordable or the model will just become unusable.
The other claim is that open-source models exist and that they're cheap and hence we should be using them.
So the first claim is not "the only" - there's also the second claim. And both sound like great points.
>The problem with all these claims is that they assume that we use frontier models because we trust the companies or because the price is right. That's not why. We use them because we want the best model available.
What "we want" doesn't matter one shit if those are priced out of our reach.
Anyway, the whole post is AI written, we shouldn't even have engaged.
