I don't have to actually run it locally to remove lock-in. Several cloud providers offer full DeepSeek R1 or Kimi K2 for $2-3/million output tokens.

- ketzo 1y agoIn what ways is that better for you than using eg Claude? Aren’t you then just “locked in” to having a cloud provider which offers those models cheaply?
- viraptor 1y agoAny provider can run Kimi (including yourself if you would get enough use out of it), but only one can run Claude.
- hhh 1y agoTwo can run Claude, AWS and Anthropic. Claude rollout on AWS is pretty good, but they do some weird stuff in estimating your quota usage thru your max_tokens parameter. I trust AWS, but we also pay big bucks to them and have a reason to trust them.
- viraptor 1y agoIn a way... But it's still just because Anthropic lets them. Things can change at any point.
