What are you guys doing where cost is such a concern? I have a $20 codex subscription and I was able to use it to build a bespoke scheduling website for an acquaintance over three days without even going halfway through my quota. On Sol xhigh.
I love hearing about new models, but every time I just don’t know why I should use something worse. I tried some random model on fireworks a week ago, and it immediately went it a thought loop for 10 minutes before I caught it. Blew through most of my $10 for no output. What’s the point, exactly?
That $20 price is heavily subsidized to addict people like you. Their plan is that once people are addicted to it, they can just increase prices.
Which now won't be possible because we have chinese open models to use instead.
I'm very curious about how long these US companies can keep on burning money like that.
The point is open AI. "Open" as in open weights, open research, open future.
Less powerful models are already extremely capable, so going for the best model is just like buying the most expensive hammer in the shop instead of the functional and well-priced one. Your experience is not representative of their usefulness.
I bet Luna (xhigh) could’ve completed the same task.
