The problem these model providers have now is there software is basically useless.
Tell me one reason why I would use this at my company? I basically have to bet on Grok being the best models for this.
Or I can use an open source version and use whatever model I want.
You see this with coding agents, everyone used Claude Code and then realized holy shit this is expensive and now use open source agents and they can use open source models and cut costs.

I believe the selling point here is these run on their own VMs, so you don't need to set up your own harnesses, models, and security infrastructure to run agents. Historically people tend to pay for single-click commercial solutions for complex technical set ups like that.
- smoke4sanity 2mo agoI assume he meant an actual use case. Its architecture alone is not a reason to use it.
- impulser_ 2mo agoI was talking about why would I use a Grok specific version of this instead of one that I can switch models. What if Grok models become horrible or they increase the pricing of the subscriptions now you have to migrate off. Instead you could just use the open source version that allows you to choose your providers and switch cost is just the time to switch those providers.
- stillpointlab 2mo agoOne advantage of code over many other use cases is that github is often the source of truth, so whatever is in Claude Code or Codex is ultimately replaceable. It's for this reason I am bullish on text formats in general. Or maybe sqlite wrappers where databases are necessary. But I want a separation between the worker and the work through some data contract that allows me to easily move my stuff around.
