The major issue with AI providers like Anthropic and OpenAI at the moment is that they’re all subsidizing the price. Once they start charging what it actually costs, I think some of the hype will die off.

Oh I know you can run it locally, but I don’t think you can’t create it locally because even if you had the compute, you don’t have the training material.
I don’t know how long AI companies are expecting to run at a loss. It is normal for a while for new bigtech. Though this is new scales. Hopefully this bubble with deflate rather than pop, just because the amount of money will have real world consequences.

You can rent computing power, just like everyone else, unless you’re willing to buy anything, which you can, but you’ll have to spend a good amount

It’s not just the compute, it’s all that data.
As always, have to think where you put your money.
Be so much easier if they weren’t all just different types of bastards!
