4.1 is great for our stuff at work. It's quite stable (doesn't change personality every month, and one word difference doesn't change the behaviour). IT doesn't think, so it's still reasonably fast. Is there anythin

what more do you actually need? Unless you want to actually develop ON the device (and build binaries etc...), this completely allows you to use the device and connect it to whatever, so I don't know what more we should expect. No one

but cost is critical. It's been proven customers are willing to pay +- 20/month, no matter how much underlying cost there is to the provider. Google is almost an order of magnitude cheaper to serve GenAI compared to ChatGPT. Long

why? It's the industry standard as far as my reach goes. What other framework would you replace it with? No, polars or spark is not a good answer, those are optimized for data engineering performance, not a holistic approach to data sc
