- analognoise 3mo agoI'd buy and run an open Chinese model before I ever paid for monthly access to any of these AI assholes.
- batperson 3mo agoBuy what? Hardware for inference? Pretty sure you'd still be giving money to "AI assholes", just somewhat different flavor. And you'd likely have to pay so much that the $60/mo would seem like peanuts, and in the end you'd still have a subpar experience/performance compared to SOTA.
- red-iron-pine 3mo agothat means they're foreign AI assholes they're still not your friends, and you need to buy the hardware from other assholes, who are also deep in this game, e.g. NVDA
- HDBaseT 3mo agoI currently pay for $20/m ChatGPT/Claude subscription. I currently put about $20-30/m into my OpenRouter account. I find this to be a pretty good split for all my side projects. A real developer wouldn't find this sufficient I would imagine but with the recent discounts on ChatGPT 5.6 Luma and Deepseek Flash V4 0731, I tend to have plenty of left off. I might be an odd case, tech stuff is my hobby so I enjoy playing with these tools. I do not have any media subscriptions (no Netflix, Amazon, etc) but 20-50$ a month isn't bank breaking.
