Why assume local when you can easily use any of the open models via openrouter or any number of similar services.

- theshrike79 6mo agoThe OP said “ But why give Anthropic/openai our money? Nonsense. Use open models” Then I’d be giving money to openrouter and a Chinese model provider, is that better?
- eikenberry 6mo agoYes, it is better. They are releasing open models, unlike Anthropic. Additionally other (non-chinese) companies run the open models, so if that is the issue you have options.
- signatoremo 6mo ago"If you don't pay for a product, you are the product". That's always been emphasized on HN threads related to FB, Google, etc. Are LLMs different?
- eikenberry 6mo agoThis is more a form of commoditizing your compliment as they don't see the model as a product but more like a programming language or other tool that you build products with.
