> Anthropic wants firms like Alibaba punished
Do they care what we want? Im happy that China is copying the models and make them available for everyone, with 1/10 of it's price.

This military strategy talk is not interesting to anyone other than Anthropic AI researchers who decide to work there.
Anyways - I pay for z.ai, Opencode Go, Ollama Cloud. I love me some distilled models.
* could "have"
Ex-product manager in the SF Bay. Retooling as a product engineer/ product builder because I can build and tinker confidently with LLM assistance, and I want to reduce my dependencies.
So I’m:
* prioritizing local Qwen codegen so I can cancel my OpenAI subscription. * watching CS lectures and learning the fundamentals from the ground up.
Maybe it’s the long-term unemployment talking, but I think the open-model strategy is winning and will continue to win. The recent stories about AI budgets are just the beginning. Wait until executives realize that the advertised “$X.XX per million tokens” is only part of the bill. Context windows, system prompts, conversation history, RAG, tool calls, and orchestration all add up.
Cost-conscious companies will have a strong incentive to hire engineers who can run, customize, and maintain open models rather than paying indefinitely for closed APIs.
