Qwen models are actually very competitive with frontier models, and you can run them on your local computer. Gotta have a decent graphics card and by that time the current cost of the rig may not justify it over paying $100/month for cloud model but it’s all out there.

- nirui 4mo agoQwen is still controlled by Alibaba, one company. We can't let the future be in the hands of a few companies, can we? Fun fact: Qwen was not initially a Apache Licensed project, it was based on a custom license from Alibaba that restricts commercial use: https://github.com/QwenLM/Qwen/blob/ba2d85a13b28ed1ee0dde2d6c3e4d5a55dc5964c/LICENSE#L30C88-L30C91 https://github.com/QwenLM/Qwen/blob/ba2d85a13b28ed1ee0dde2d6.... There's no guarantee that they won't just switch it back later. Kudos for them for switching to Apache License, of course. BUT, they're still a for-profit company. So as DeepSeek btw.
