I'm using minimax m2.7 and it's good enough. What I'd like to understand is how these models are so cheap though? Surely it costs them just as much for the compute? Do US-based AI companies have that much overhead?
- yorwba 6mo agoThere are US-based companies offering inference for MiniMax models charging slightly less than what MiniMax charges. MiniMax themselves claim to be using data centers in the US. US companies training their own closed-weight models charge so much more because they can. They're monopoly providers for their own models, so they can ask for whatever amount people are willing to pay.
- operatingthetan 6mo agoInteresting, what companies?
