Great article that reinforces my own opinion but adding the cleverness of adding low cost human labor into the equation. Nice.
I spent a month comparing Gemini Ultra plan to using much lower cost DeepSeek v4 with open source coding harnesses and, spoiler alert: I was happier using the much cheaper and more environmentally friendly open models: https://marklwatson.substack.com/p/my-evaluation-of-ai-agent...
FYI, Gemini is the most environmentally friendly model.
