Anthropic and Google already charge extra to use your own harness. That's 100% of the reason I'm using OpenAI.
If they go down that path I'll just go back to my old buddy Claude, or maybe buy a second Spark and keep it local.
- alansaber 3mo agoGoogle is really not distinguishing itself. Even the hosted inference sucks.
- embedding-shape 3mo agoAt least the local models they put out are pretty good for their weight class. Could be worse, could be releasing the same amount of local models as Anthropic.
- brookst 3mo agoGoogle has the benefit of billions of devices in the wild that they control. Anthropic really doesn’t have distribution for local models, makes sense they’re not playing in that space.
- embedding-shape 3mo agoSure, lots of differences. Point stands, they're distinguishing themselves in that way at least.
- brookst 3mo agoOh sure, full agreement. In fact given how mid Gemini has been in cloud, this may turn out to be critical strategy to avoid losing cloud to Anthropic / OpenAI / DeepSeek / whoever, and local to Apple (doesn’t seem likely now, but that’s what BlackBerry, Creative, Intel said).
- pshirshov 3mo agoWell, my backup plan is GLM. Cheap and not that bad really.
- canadiantim 3mo agoGLM feels a lot less cheap than the numbers say it is
