Anthropic is dead. Long live open platforms and open-weight models. Why would I need Claude if I can get Minimax, Kimi, and Glm for the fraction of the price?

  To get comparable results you need to run those models on at least prosumer hardware and it seems that two beef-up Mac Studios are the minimum. Which means that instead of buying this hardware you can purchase Claude, Codex and many other subscriptions for next 20 years.

    Or you purchase a year's worth of almost unlimited MiniMax coding plan for a price you'd pay for 15 days of limited Claude usage. And as a bonus, you can choose your harness. You don't have to suffer CC. And if something better appears tomorrow, you switch your model, while still using your harness of choice.

      And do you think Claude won't have released a few models by then, which will be way ahead of any open model? you are paying for SOTA.

        Being 3-6 months behind SOTA may be less of a hindrance than not being able to use the tools you want, though.
