> I know personally the value the LLM adds to my workflow is considerably more than the $200/m I pay the frontier labs.

AFAIK the frontier labs make their money on enterprise, and they recently changed their terms so that most businesses can't use the $200/m plan anymore.

This is why companies like Uber - and mine :( - announced per employee AI budgets on the order of ~$1000/month.

When you're forced to pay API costs, the value prop of Kimi/Qwen becomes a lot more compelling.
