Will open source or local llms kill the big AI providers eventually? If so when? I can see maybe basic chat, not sure about coding and images yet

Why is that? The $200 per month subscription comes with a ton of usage. Opus 4.6 is available on the $20 plan too
> The $200 per month subscription comes with a ton of usage. $200 dollars + VAT is half of my rent. I know HN is not a good place to rant on this subject, but I'm often flabbergasted about the number of people here that lives in a bubble with regard to the price of tech. Or just prices in general. I remember someone who said a few years ago (I'm paraphrasing): "You could just use one of the empty room in your house!"…
But it's not all that relevant to this conversation. It's not like this is the first time economic inequality is a thing.
It's just as relevant to me factoring in your salary the next time I go buy a car.

"Opus 4.6 is available on the $20 plan too"
Anthropic’s $20 plan gives you such a pittance of tokens that it’s borderline unusable for anything more than a few scripts or a toy app. If $20 is all you have you’d do _much_ better going with chatgpt
I’d encourage devs to use MiniMax, Kimi, etc for real world tasks that require intelligence. The down sides emerge pretty fast: much higher reasoning token use, slower outputs, and degradation that is palpable. Sadly, you do get what you pay for right now. However that doesn’t prevent you from saving tons through smart model routing, being smart about reasoning budgets, and using max output tokens wisely. And optimiz…

I don't care about token use, I pay per request in my cheap coding plan. I didn't notice slower outputs, it's even faster than An…

I don't get the financial motive for someone to keep funding these open-weight model training programs other than just purposefully trying to kill the big AI providers.

What is this 10€ per month subscription that you are talking about?

>I'm often flabbergasted about the number of people here that lives in a bubble with regard to the price of tech Sorry, no. You live in the bubble, the people you think are living in a bubble are actually doing the very opposite and taking advantage of the lack of bubbles in our globally connected world. Today, basically anyone can sell any bullshit to billions of people around the world. We’ve never lived in less of…
I guess all those people who live in not-SF just can't be bothered to succeed!

My usage is in the $60 tier, but that doesn't exist so I have to cough up $100. And then get all shaky if I don't use up my weekly quota.
