Not having API-s for models would suck terribly. It would kill tools like Aider or Cline, where I can switch models as I prefer, paying only for tokens I have used. The only option would be to purchase overpriced application from a model provider.
I hope the author is wrong and still there will be someone who would like to make money on "selling tokens" not end-to-end closed solutions. But indeed, market surely would seek for added value.
- isaacremuant 2y agoIt won't matter if they do. You'll be able to use open source models and host them yourself or use the hoster who realizes there's money to be made there. Humpty is broken just like when Napster happened and there's no putting him back together.
- cellis 2y agoExactly, as I've said upthread, DeepSeek + Together.ai, Mistral, Meta + Grok...there are too many opensource + infra teams for this "sealed model" strategy to ever work.
