Why assume local when you can easily use any of the open models via openrouter or any number of similar services.

The OP said “ But why give Anthropic/openai our money? Nonsense. Use open models”

Then I’d be giving money to openrouter and a Chinese model provider, is that better?

  • Yes, it is better. They are releasing open models, unlike Anthropic. Additionally other (non-chinese) companies run the open models, so if that is the issue you have options.
