But the big guys don’t seem interested in this, maybe some lesser known model will carve out this space
I shudder to think what the industry will look like if software development and delivery becomes like Youtubing, where the whole stack and monetization is funneled through a single company (or a couple) get to decide who gets how much money.
As an independent dev I also unfortunately don't have investors backing me to subsidize inference for my subscription plan.
It's seriously one of the best models. very comparable to sonnet/opus although kimi isn't the best in coding. I think its a really great solid model overall and might just be worth it in your use case?
Is the use case extremely coding intensive related (where even some minor improvement can matter for 10-100x cost) or just in general. Because if not, then I can recommend Kimi.
Please correct me if you feel I'm wrong after reading it.
Maybe they are not worth building at all then. Like MoviePass wasn’t.
