  • I’m in the exact same boat. I’ve been thinking a lot about how it’s changed the landscape of tech, and ive come to an interesting conclusion so far. It feels kind of like the switch from horse and buggy to motorized vehicles.

    But, what’s going to happen after these companies bankrupt? Will AWS still host old Anthropic models at an increased price? It feels like when Walmart moved into small towns and sold their products at a loss in order to kill mom and pop stores.

    Massive enterprises will cut deals to keep using frontier models, everyone else will have to go back to using their atrophied brains. Those who have the compute will be running local models.

    Similar to how employers today ask if you have a vehicle to get to work, they will ask if you have local inference. It hurt, but, I bought an AMD Halo the other day. They turned the information super highway into a stroad and the Halo is my vehicle.
