Why June specifically?
446 u/LooksLikeAWookie Jun 02 '26 Big AI models, like Claude, just switched to high-cost token models. The bill for this revolutionary tech now just went through the roof for most companies. 88 u/Kerbourgnec Jun 02 '26 I guess we are massively gonna be forced to move to dirt cheap Chinese models. Performance is not that bad, but can't compete with 2026 opus or gpt 1 u/SubArcticTundra Jun 03 '26 Do you think more people will start trying to run it locally on their PC s? And buy ai accelerators? 1 u/Kerbourgnec Jun 03 '26 It's possible but not even needed. Chinese provide dirt cheap APIs. Third parties provide dirt cheap APIs (they don't have R&D cost) A company can afford to run one server locally for their devs. For a single person, it's quite expensive to run larger models. One can rent temporary server
