  Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that consumer-grade hardware has gotten more efficient. I wouldn’t really know about that, but I assume most of the focus is on data centers.

  Those were two separate thoughts:

  1. Models are getting better, and tooling built around them are getting better, so hopefully we can get to a point where small models (capable of running on consumer-grade hardware) become much more useful.
  2. Some modern data center GPUs and TPUs compute more per watt-hour than previous generations.

    Can you provide evidence the “more efficient” models are actually more efficient for vibe coding? Results would be the best measure.

    It also seems like costs for these models are increasing, and companies like Cursor had to stoop to offering people services below cost (before pulling the rug out from them).
