You can bypass the account requirement using https://github.com/abbodi1406/ConsumerESU . Of course that isn’t endorsed by Microsoft.

IMO the more useful distinction is in analogy to VPS versus SaaS/PaaS. Open models allow you to use any inference provider you like, including local ones, similar to running open-source software using VPS providers. You’re not bound to

Apple doesn’t increase prices most years, so that doesn’t really make sense. The iPhone Pros this year also look to be a minor update.

The issue is that apparently AI coding means that developers stop caring about software quality. Which puts the whole purpose into question.

A BSTR object is compatible with functions expecting a C string. The other direction obviously never holds, unless the C string is a BSTR to start with. Yes, there is a trade-off between slices using the same format and having compatibility
