I’m not in that district, but for any sane human being that was…



The one from DHH?


Have you seen openrouter.ai? They are more or less based around that idea, I think. Routing to whatever is best fit - most likely on price, I’d think (?) and/or currently up.
I have not set it up myself, but I think there is a way to have opencode or the like prefer local models for certain things, then escalate to something remote (presumably paid) if needed.
Also, opencode.ai gives you so many free tokens per day on some of their models.


they’re implying that AI as a technology would disappear entirely
I keep thinking the term “Butlerian Jihad” is going to be entering normie culture at some point soon.

Gen X here - it’s been the same for my life, too (Recently watched a video that recounted all the trauma Gen X went through, and it’s a lot) . I bet boomers could say the same.
But still, I don’t want to burn it all down. That’s not gonna be good for anyone.


I’m not an expert either. I mostly use Opus at work and I don’t pay for it - the company does. I’ve noticed Fable almost seems like a waste for a lot of tasks, so mostly I don’t use it. I’ve not tried dialing it down to Sonnet or even Haiku to see how things fare, but keep meaning to try that out.
If you look at leaderboards like:
https://llm-stats.com/leaderboards/llm-leaderboard
You’ll see Fable 5.2 is at the very top with 61.1. Even Opus is 58.7.
Here, you can see the very top is 54.9 from Kimi and I’m not sure which of these you can host yourself. My understanding is that just because something is open weight doesn’t mean you can download it and in some instances, even when you can, the hardware to run it is not something exactly consumer-class (but a company might choose to build or rent that hardware themselves).

When you remember how people went gaga over this in 2022…imagine using a model that “lags” some of the top-tier stuff but applied to more mundane things - it’s not like the capabilities from 2022 or whatever evaporated. Suppose you assume you can run something at decent enough speeds, but it “lags” the others by 6 months to a year?
At some point, it just seems to me there will be diminishing returns to keep paying for the most expensive option. My company offers me Fable now and I don’t find that I need it for day to day things. For all I know, Haiku might be enough for some things.


That’s exactly the thing.


It’s going to be an absolute shitshow if it’s anything at all like dot-com bubble. Having things lose 80% of their value or go to zero even may be something edgelords think is exciting and/or hilarious, but the fallout is something all of us will feel.
I don’t think it will be at all glorious.


According to their own plans they expect to lose several hundred billions between 2026-2030, but revenue will catch up to the losses somewhere along the way?


I mean, that was the joke for Amazon for years, but…look where they are now.
But I just don’t understand the massive hype around LLMs. The cost per 1M tokens has dropped, significantly, since 2023 or so. And I don’t think there is any reason to expect it not to continue. If you host it yourself, it’s basically free other than hardware and electricity.
Sure, with agents like claude code, you may use a bit more tokens or use it more often, etc, and the best models are more expensive. But not every task needs the best model or even a paid model at all. And people seem to be finding ways to fan out things to prefer local models for simple stuff, escalate to something paid, etc.
I just don’t get the business model at all, but maybe I’m just too stupid to understand. It’s also possible we have an Enron-style situation, but spanning multiple companies and/or industries…


What I cannot understand is that the cost per 1M of tokens keeps going down.
This stuff is converging on nearly free, especially if you don’t use the most expensive model and even more especially if you opt to host your own infrastructure and run models yourself.

I was looking at their own info on their IPO, and their profit is a negative $23.3 billion.

I’d probably switch if I was the only one using Plex. I’d have to move quite a few users. I paid for lifetime long ago, so… 🤷
The parent of Fox News is Fox Corporation. It was enough to have the developer of a screensaver end his deal with them.


Great companion piece. Doktor Zoom comes up with lots of alternative names for the Cybertruck…
🤣

Diaper donnie went out to the site of the devastation right after the midterm meteor strike as his first public appearance to begin babbling about the ballroom.


I hope the next president is a female person of color. Those are the people that he thinks are the very stupidest.
And I hope he’s alive to watch them rip all that shit down, record all of it, and release the footage for all to watch.


Someone should have the originals on hand for the next President so they can put it through the shredder at the same time they are scraping shit off the walls.
