You're comparing the highest tier Claude subscription to something Qwen3.5-122B-A10B running locally, apples to oranges. If you compare to a smarter US model like Grok 4.3, $1400 will pay for 560M output tokens, which at ~25 t/s l

You'll need to spend at least $20K on a workstation that can run DS4 Flash. It would take ages to reach that much in token spend at the speeds it runs at, and if you factor electricity costs you will likely never break even vs using AP

Not similar. DeepInfra[1] has DS4 Pro pricing at $1.30/$2.60 which is 3X the Deepseek[2] (Chinese) hosting at $0.435/$0.87. DeepInfra is also very slow at 37 t/s and uses an FP4 quant[3], so intelligence will be degraded slig

Yes, because of the limits on tok/s, and you have to compare apples to apples, not Gemma 27B to Opus 4.7.

Running them locally is cool and has privacy/autonomy benefits, but you can't really make a value case for it. Guaranteed if you run the math you will never run enough inference to pay off your hardware vs buying tokens. Last time

Yes, I think this has become their competitive edge to stay relevant and retain customers. If a lab falls behind the frontier for too long, they will lose customers to other models. Google, DeepSeek, and XAI have all released frontier model

The Chinese models are only cheap on subsidized Chinese hosting. I have yet to find a USA-hosted Chinese model with a very clear value advantage over US models.

The biggest problem are apps that do both. For example, I want Uber to notify me when my driver has arrived, but I don't want it to notify me when they have a special 10% discount on my next 5 rides. It's not straightforward to bl

Yeah the Google AI results are more dangerous than ChatGPT, not only because it uses a smaller model but because Google's knowledge graph used to deliver very accurate and authoritative information but now that's been replaced by

Criminals posting evidence of their crimes online certainly makes the prosecutor's job easy. I wonder what's going through his head though. Did he just not expect to get charged? Or just wanted to live life to it's fullest kn

I think the real crux of the moat is model intelligence. I'd bet that most of the money being spent on inference is on the top few models (today Opus-4.7 and GPT-5.5) from people and companies that benefit from using the best models. T

Good point. I feel like this does a disservice to ChatGPT -- IIRC even the free tier of Claude points you to Sonnet 4.6 by default, which is magnitudes better than 5.3-instant which has been the default in ChatGPT. Hence most users will imm

Good question. I find that GPT-5.5 thinking is very good at not thinking for simple questions, so much so that I've never had the need to use the instant model even for quick Q&A. I'm assuming the instant model, then, is an
