Use cloud AI hoster with open model. Can't get more transparent and reliable than that. They won't subsidize anything, because the whole point of their business is to rent hardware. Open models won't go anywhere, they're there to stay.

The quality will be a bit behind frontier proprietary models. You gotta pay for what you use, no way to cover your expenses from peers underusing their subscription. But otherwise it should be a reasonable middle ground, with very little risk of rug being pulled out from you.
