Not "local" in the literal sense, but I set it up to serve at half quant for $23/hr and full quant for $35/hr. You don't need to have it always on? This is a far cry from "$200/month," but I do not think it's $50k for "useful." Do you see it differently?

This is probably the dumbest possible way to do it. Just buy tokens through open router and you could run it all month 24/7 at 100tps for practically nothing. There are tons of ways to pay for things without giving your personal information.

  100/s*month*(.14/million) = $37
$37 for the input tokens for Deepseek V4 Flash if you miss cache all the time.

A decent deal but Flash is quite dumb and you still have to pay for output tokens

The US is really shooting itself in the foot here. The restrictions on LLM models like Fable has created a viable international LLM market where it was difficult to justify investment two weeks ago. As a non-US citizen Opus 4.8 is the best American LLM I will ever have access to. That's no longer up for debate or question. Each month that I pay Anthropic is now a depreciating value -- I'm paying for models I'll never…

Have you tried one of the Kimi K2 models or the latest GLM models by z.ai? The general consensus is that they're at least at par with Claude's class.

They are but from our evals for example GLM 5.2 (unquantized) performs as well as Opus but uses more tokens and takes more time.

I really wish this would change soon but they are not there yet.

Perhaps they should stop being holier than thou wackjobs and try the “shut the fuck up and act like a business” strategy of being a business. Seems to be working for every other AI company.

If you think the field you are working in is more dangerous and important to the future of national security than i.e. nuclear energy and nuclear bombs you should really not just shut up and act like a cold blooded capitalist. It feels like people here are not able to separate their personal dislike of the effective altruist types from a real debate on how big the stakes of AI are.

It’s tough to separate with them because “for the greater good” and “saving people from themselves” has historically not gone over well, especially when we all know it’s a veneer and get cold blooded capitalism.

They've been generating these with AI since 2023 (and likely earlier, but that's the first time I heard it being used in the wild).

Photo ID is a real person (your hotel maid took photos) iPhone headroll is generated to match the real photo ID with AI.

Where does 5.5 beat Opus 4.8?

Reviews for one. It's reviews are phenomenal.

Yes and no. The hot moment I tried Fable that thing gave reviews so good I was already considering automation to cut a review for every PR in the company. Its coding abilities though were not that good.

GPT 5.5 is by far the best coding model.
