So the completed sample was estimated at $0.35, actually cost $0.52, but spend $0.55 This bot is almost as bad as I am at estimating projects.

  A lot of AWS is built on open-source. This is obviously ignoring hardware costs. I don’t know if it is all that ridiculous anymore. These models are very good at wiring together open-source systems. The world is crazy right now…

    AWS has over 200 services, so that's a little over $2 per service. Yeah, a lot of it is built on OSS, but there is a ton of it, and there is also a lot of work involved in building the APIs and web UI, and making it scalable , secure, and resilient. Now, you might be able to make a version of some small subset of aws services that runs works ok for a small scale for with relatively simple needs, for that many tokens, but I don't think that's what they were going for.

      IAM for example is in house and integrates with every service. Sometimes in deep ways.

        I’m on your side in that I would never take a contract to actually do this, but… If we swapped out the IAM backend for something extremely simple like just private keys (one per allowed service or JWT-style list all services in the key), then we could have something that looks/feels pretty similar. With a 2$ token spend. Not at all the same but it would look/feel pretty close.

    The hard parts are not based on OSS

      Exactly. It's like someone saying, that EC2 is OpenStack. Well, yes, but actually no :)

  Is green room a word? I've heard clean room. And green field. Is it just an amalgamation?

    It is. But doesn’t fit with the rest of the sentence. “In a television studio, theatre or concert hall, the room where performers await their entrance.” https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/green_room https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/green_room

    Maybe a green field clean room implementation :)

    Not sure but a green screen version of AWS for $500 is totally plausible and a decent metaphor for what you’d get with AI anyway.
pitched 4mo ago
Did it not charge anything for the estimation itself? I wonder what model they’re using for that
